Masks are welcome, but not required. Unvaccinated guests are encouraged to follow CDC guidelines and wear a mask. Each group of guests is advised to maintain social distance.

“We are excited to offer our historic walking tours in person once again. Over the years, thousands of guests from across the globe have discovered that this quintessential New York City experience is an unbeatable way to explore one of Manhattan’s most historic neighborhoods. Whether you’re a native New Yorker or a first-time visitor, you will have a great time and learn a lot from our knowledgeable guides,” said James Mettham, Executive Director of the Flatiron/23rd Street Partnership.

The tours highlight some of the city’s most notable landmarks, including the Flatiron Building, New York Life Insurance Building, MetLife Clock Tower, and Appellate Courthouse. Over the past decade, more than 6,900 people from 60 countries and more than 460 cities in the United States and Canada have participated.

Historians who will once again lead the weekly tours on a rotating basis are: Miriam Berman, author of Madison Square: The Park and Its Celebrated Landmarks and New York in Words and Images, a book of New York postcards; Mike Kaback, a native New Yorker who has an unquenchable enthusiasm for everything about the city; and, Fred Cookinham, author of The Age of Rand: Imagining an Objectivist Future World.
