About this Event:
Fifth Avenue turned 200 this year! In 1824, the central avenue of Manhattan’s radical new street grid system began at the foot of a potter's field and cut through 13 blocks of marshy farmland in old Greenwich Village. Its creation would turn that field into Washington Square Park and the intended Mayfair of New York was born. As soon as the first mansions rose up on the new dirt avenue the roots of the Gilded Age were born with lavish balls and royal hosts.
Join a tour that examines the relationship between the Village’s iconic Washington Square and the genteel age of early Fifth Avenue. Stroll by extant 19th-century mansions, discover hidden Greenwich Village alleys and look upon one of the oldest cemeteries in New York City. Learn how the old “blue blood” age of early Fifth Avenue gave way to the excesses of the Gilded Age and then the later Bohemian era we all associate Greenwich Village with today.
