Olde New York

We will be welcomed to the newly renovated New York Historical Society on Central Park West in the morning for a Highlights tour of this magnificent museum. Then, the bus will drop us off on 59th Street and 3rd Avenue and we are on our own to visit Bloomingdales and/or eat lunch at one of the many restaurants in the area. We will meet up at 2:30 PM at 421 East 61 Street where we will step back in time and take a guided tour at the Mount Vernon Hotel Museum and Garden constructed in 1799 as a carriage house and converted into a hotel in 1826, the Museum transports us back to a country escape for New Yorkers living in the crowded city at the southern tip of Manhattan in the 18th century!.
