Are you ready to turn your hobbies into a business?
Step back into New York’s Gilded Age and discover how prominent Jewish families helped shape the architectural and cultural fabric of the Upper East Side. This walking tour explores a stretch of Fifth Avenue once known as “Millionaire’s Row,” where opulent mansions told stories of ambition, philanthropy, and social transformation.
Along the way, you’ll learn how Jewish immigrant families—many of them only a generation removed from humble beginnings—rose to extraordinary wealth and influence. These homes reveal not only dazzling displays of Beaux-Arts and Renaissance Revival architecture, but also the struggles and triumphs of Jewish families as they sought acceptance within New York’s elite...
