SUMMARY:New York’s Fabulous Fountains: A Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join the Victorian Society and author Stephanie Azzarone to explore New York’s iconic fountains in person. Azzarone has just published her widely acclaimed “Fabulous Fountains of New York” and will give an in depth and fascinating walking tour. \n\n\n\n\nNew York’s fountains are more than just decorative features—they are historical landmarks\, cultural icons\, and dynamic works of art that shape the city’s landscape. They were designed to honor men and women of accomplishment\, memorialize events\, and at one time\, keep citizens from drinking too much alcohol. New York’s fountains are classical and ornate or modern and streamlined. They celebrate firemen\, authors\, social workers\, and more. This tour will take a close look at some of Manhattan’s most distinctive Midtown fountains—new and old\, famous and little known—and share the stories of why they came to be\, the people behind them\, and what makes those fountains special. \nStops will include: \n\n“Truth” and “Beauty\,” long hidden behind “Patience” and “Fortitude”\nThe first major monument in New York City to honor a woman\nThe fabulous “Christmas Balls” fountain\nThe jewel within Midtown’s “vest pocket parks”\nA 14K gold-leafed fountain once known as “Leapin’ Louie”\nThe statue whose bare bottom outraged a Gilded Age Vanderbilt\n\nThe tour will start at the Fountain in Bryant Park. \nSaturday\, June 27\n1:00–3:00 p.m.\nBryant Park Fountain \nPurchase tickets.
