About this Tour:

New York City has many unique squares, each with its own history and culture. On this walking tour, we'll explore peaceful Gramercy Park and its surrounding historic buildings, the busy and crowded Union Square, and the numerous monuments and buildings surrounding Madison Square Park.

This walk reveals how each square came to exist and evolved into exclusive residential areas, commercial enterprises, a home for artists, and sites for public demonstrations. Along the walk, we will stop at many historic buildings that helped shape New York City.

*Please note that the tour will not go inside Gramercy Park.
