Singles Walking Tour of Millionaire Row in NYC December 2, 2007

The stretch of 5th Avenue between 72nd and 104th Streets was once named Millionaire's Row. It is home to several of the most famous Museums in the world and this stretch is lined with the former mansions of the Upper East Side's more illustrious philanthropists.

We'll meet at the Golden Statue of General Herman diagonally across from the Plaza Hotel. We'll stroll up 5th Avenue to the lower East 70s and weave our way through side streets to view mansions of some of the wealthiest Americans in New York City. These are some of the most luxurious apartment houses ever built and where some of the most influential Americans lived.

Our tour guide Bob will fascinate us with stories of their private clubs, their residences and the luxury hotels they frequented. We'll see the elite clubs where they spent most of their time and we'll discuss the Clubs that still have as many restriction today as they did 100 years ago. We'll learn how the rich changed this neighborhood from a "farmland" to "Millionaire's Row" after the creation of Central Park in the 1860s.

We'll pass Ivana Trump's home, a Landmark building of the city which is currently under renovation; The Metropolitan Club whose founders included the Vanderbilts, Whitneys and Morgan, a legendary banker and first president of the club and The Knickerbocker Club, one of the city's most exclusive and prestigious private men's social clubs and open only to Americans of Dutch heritage.
