reservations and further information, click the link above.) About
Our Tours All tours are led by Michelle or
James Nevius and feature a mix of stops that highlight the history,
architecture, and cultural development of the neighborhood. We are both
historians who believe that the best way to experience New York City is up
close and on foot. Booking

ON A FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED BASIS Join
James Nevius, co-author of Inside the
Apple: A Streetwise History of New York City, on Sunday, October 9, at
3:30 PM, for a walk celebrating Columbus Day and the importance of
Italian-Americans in New York’s history. There’s no better place to do that
than Central Park, which has some remarkable connections to Italian history.
We will talk about the four (that’s right four)
different Columbus memorials once slated for Central Park, visit the bust of
Giuseppe Mazzini, explore the history of the Mall and Terrace, and more.
(We’ll also be looking at things in Central Park that have nothing to do with
Columbus.) Copies
of Inside the Apple will be
available for purchase at the tour. è To reserve, send an
email to events@insidetheapple.net with ·
Your name ·
The number in your party ·
A contact cell phone number ·
A good email address where we can send you information
about where the tour will start. PLEASE
NOTE that if you reserve no later than Monday, October 3, the cost is just
$10 per person. All reservations
received starting Tuesday, October 4, will be $15 per person. This tour will have
only a limited number of spaces, so please reserve early to avoid
disappointment.
