Victorian Christmas Walking Tour
Want to experience a new Christmas tradition in New York - something beyond the Rockettes and the Rockefeller Center tree?
Go off the beaten path this holiday season by taking this walking tour through three Victorian areas:
- Gramercy Park
- Ladies Mile
- Chelsea
Exploring the Christmas traditions that emerged from each.
Stops include where O. Henry wrote "Gift of the Magi" and where Clement
Clarke Moore penned "Twas the Night Before Christmas". The tour will
also explore New York's role in the evolution of the modern Kris
Kringle, from Washington Irving's St. Nicholas figure to Thomas Nast's
jovial Santa.
