Jane’s Walk

Times and locations vary. The Municipal Art Society honors late author and activist Jane Jacobs with 70 tours during this international weekend event. Passionate locals have volunteered to guide treks throughout the five boroughs. For example, Gotham Lost and Found (gothamlostandfound.com) blogger David Freeland looks at NYC’s historic red-light district on In Search of the Tenderloin and Tin Pan Alley, and Brooklyn native Gary Zarr tells his personal attachment to a local landmark on the Brooklyn Bridge: Cultural Icon.
