Municipal Art Society Walking Tour: Keeping Off Midtown Street

In the post-modernist era, New York City planning principles encouraged innovative new public spaces to be maintained by private entities. These spaces typically offer shelter and shortcuts and add to the connections already provided by transit, stores, and hotels. These walks, particularly when offered in cold weather months, beat winter by connecting public atriums, passageways, building lobbies, and walkways that reveal a more intimate side of Midtown. Leader: Jack Eichenbaum, urban historian. $15, $10 MAS members. Pay at tour. http://mas.org/tours/#midtowneastside
