Come join us for this adventure - 57th Street Artists’ Alley!
This tour of West 57th Street focuses on the artistic legacy of 57th street, featuring such institutions Carnegie Hall, the American Fine Arts Society Building, and the Louis H Chalif School of Dance.
We will explore why such celebrated architects as Henry Hardenbergh and Cass Gilbert were drawn to 57th Street, discover why luxury apartments appeared on 57th Street long before the current super-talls, and see where the arts are still flourishing on 57th Street.
