Vintage 1970s Photos Show Lost Sites of NYC's Lower East Side
A quest to find his grandmother's birthplace led Richard Marc Sakols on a mission to capture his changing neighborhood on film.
Tomorrow at noon take a virtual tour of the north end of Central Park, and discover this lesser known area which has a mystique of its own. We’ll be taking a walk with licensed New York City tour guide and former Central Park Conservancy guide, Beth Goffe, and learn about events that occurred there in three separate centuries. See where encampments from two wars were situated and, during a third, the former convent where injured soldiers were treated. Explore a memorial to the “father of New York City” and learn about the geography that distinguishes the North End from the park’s southern section. Its beauty and unusual history make it a truly special place to visit.
This live tour is organized for Untapped New York Insiders — get two months free with code STAYHOME (or three months free with a yearly plan). A video of the talk will also be made available to all our Insiders afterwards in the Virtual Content section of our website.
