Overview

My breezy two-hour walking tour takes you on a film & fiction adventure in Manhattan's historic Carnegie Hill neighborhood along "Museum Mile."

The walking tour meets on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum (82nd and 5th Avenue, and ends at the Guggenheim Museum (88th & 5th Avenue). We'll visit Manhattan’s Central Park, see the impressive Andrew Carnegie Mansion (a.k.a. The Cooper Hewitt Museum of Design), see the 5th Avenue mansion where Lady Gaga attended high school, and dig the French Gothic Chateau style of The Jewish Museum while checking out tons of filming locations and celebrity homes.
