hose of you for whom this particular neighborhood isn't home - no problem! It's only $15 per person, and we're going for a walk on Sunday, May 24, and see what a neighborhood can be.It's the first Public Tour of the spring season for RunTour/Goodhart Tours, and it is a very simple walk ... perhaps not even a mile long - but it may take time! Yes, there are things to see, people to meet, and even things to do along this little walk. And this little walk will be along the varying neighborhood of East 78th St., from the East River all the way to Central Park.
We shall meet at Beanocchio's, have a jolt of caffeine - or not! to each his or her own! - and then stroll down to the East River and the great complex known now as the Cherok
ee apartments (see above right). Then we'll stroll down East 78th Street all the way to the end - and to Central Park. There will be a lot to talk about, and alot to see, and even some unusual things to see and certainly a lot of new people to talk to about - about what? You never know!
We'll see some buildings for which I have a personal fondness, and even one with which I have a connection even though I was never there when the connection existed (see the building to the right).
But we will no doubt see much that's new to all of us - even me, for you know, things change all the time in this big city.
We will eventually find our way to the end and to our entry into the great Central Park. We will see one of the greatest blocks, certainly of East 78th Street, just before we enter. We will check out the grandest building on the block, and hear the stories of one great family and one great fortune that has managed to endure. The building is just below:
So, let me know if you'd like to come: it's only $15 per person. E-mail me at Bill@runtour.com, or call me at 917-921-9273, before Saturday, June 6, and I'll put you on the Master List - and I'll expect you at Beano's at 10!
