Valentine’s Day Walking Tour
Love is in the air! Valentine’s Day is approaching! To kick off the day of love, the Flatiron 23rd Street Partnership is hosting a Valentine’s Day tour of the historic Flatiron District on Sunday, February 10th. Participants will have the opportunity to walk through the iconic neighborhood with the noted and ever-popular raconteur Fred Cookinham, while exploring the love stories of famous New York City figures. Participants will explore the neighborhood and sites that have hosted presidents, actors, and business moguls, as well as the legendary Victoria Hotel and the original Madison Square Garden. Hear Fred’s inimitable take on the District’s legendary love stories – some of which ended in happiness, but some in tragedy. As an extra bonus, Fred will provide holiday treats!
Where: Meet at the tip of the Flatiron building, on 23rd Street east of 5th Avenue (rain or shine). When: Sunday, February 10th at 11 AM
President’s Day Walking Tour
Looking for something to do President’s Day weekend? On February 17th the Flatiron/23rd Street Partnership will host a free tour exploring the connections U.S presidents had with the Flatiron District. Participants will learn about how presidents such as James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Grover Cleveland and others impacted the Flatiron District’s rich history.
Professional historian Miriam Berman will guide participants through the Flatiron District, where historic political establishments like the old Fifth Avenue Hotel, the Hoffman House, and Stanford White’s Madison Square Garden previously stood. During their tenure, presidents routinely met in these buildings as they serve as venues for dinner parties, political gatherings, and meeting spots, even on election nights.
WHERE: Please meet at the tip of the Flatiron Building, on 23rd Street just east of 5th Avenue (rain or shine). WHEN: Sunday, February 17th at 11 AM
