We begin at the boundary of Hells Kitchen and Times Square with an overview of the city's historic move uptown. We cover the basics of historical (academic) architecture up to the Modern period, and from overblown Beaux Arts to ornament-free skyscrapers. We learn the fundamentals of zoning in this POPS (Privately Owned Public Space). Works by Sidney Simon and Matt Mullican.
The subway station below Worldwide Plaza is an example of evolving zoning law history; incised granite by Matt Mullican is part of the program.

Robert was a tremendous tour guide! He carefully laid the groundwork for his tour with detailed maps and data and then proceeded to show us the city sights demonstrating his points. He was so very knowledgeable. We learned so much about the building of the city. He is worth every penny! Don’t think about it anymore— book this tour!

Awesome Experience I've done many of these tours in the past, and they never get old, especially because each guide has a different perspective and how they present it to the group.

Another awesome tour by Robert! We walked around midtown Manhattan area, criss crossed various different "privately owned public areas", and heard so much about the fascinating stories of art, architecture, and history about New York. The tour was very easy to follow as it's a small group, short(ish) distance walking tour that's often underground - turned out the skyscrapers here are all connected underground - so that we were shielded from the weather if needed.

One of the best walking tours I have been on! Tons of great info and stories with well thought out stops to sit and talk. Robert has done so much research on the area and shares his knowledge with infectious enthusiasm. You’ll visit public spaces you did not know existed. Highly highly recommend to history and architecture buffs!

This was the best tour in New York that we participated in. Robert is very knowledgeable, he could answer all our questions with detailed and deep explanations. He takes time to tell the history of the city and how its architecture and art comes about. He took us to places we would not thought we could visit on our own. A lot of these places are privately owned public areas with beautiful modern art pieces but as a tourist you would have not found them on your own.

We have been to midtown NYC many times but this was a great way to learn more about the art and architecture of the area, as well as the history of the development of the city and much, much more. The tour was engaging and well paced. A wonderful experience for anyone who wants to learn about New York.

If you love art and architecture and would like to know more about how New York developed as a city then this is the tour for you. My husband and I recently spent an amazing few hours with tour guide extraordinaire Rob. We especially appreciated his love of the city and his expansive knowledge. He guided us to POPS (privately owned public spaces) that we never would have found on our own. Likewise, he led us through many underground passages that most tourists never get to experience. Add in seeing inspiring art in corporate spaces, and you have a perfect tour. NYC Is so amazing. You will appreciate it even more if you take this tour.
