SUMMARY:New York's Great Art Deco Corridor Architectural Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Art Deco architecture can be found in all five boroughs\, but the largest single concentration of major Deco monuments runs along 42nd Street from 1st to 9th Avenues. The star architect of this walk is crusty modernist Raymond Hood. Participants will visit three of his four New York skyscrapers: the red-and-white-striped Daily News\, the black-and-gold American Radiator\, and the blue-green terra-cotta clad McGraw-Hill.  \nAlong the way\, guests will also visit the Chanin Building with its Rene Chambellan-designed abstract ornamentation\, and the peerless Chrysler Building\, the city’s (and the world’s) most famous Art Deco skyscraper. Additional stops will be made at lesser-known delights\, including the little-visited cluster of the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design and the Beaux-Arts Apartments on East 44th Street\, which are Art Deco in style despite their names.

SUMMARY:West Village Neon Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Greenwich Village is home to some of the best surviving vintage neon signs in New York. First appearing in the 1920s and ‘30s\, they advertised businesses large and small throughout the city before falling  out of favor in the 1960s thanks to rising costs\, restrictive zoning ordinances\, and the ascendance of cheaper alternatives. In recent years\, old neon storefront signs have all but disappeared as independent businesses across NYC have succumbed to rent hikes and old age. \nJoin Tom Rinaldi\, author of New York Neon\, on a walking tour of the West Village and discover around a dozen vintage signs dating from the 1930s\, ‘40s and ‘50s\, marking the locations of some of the neighborhood’s most stalwart restaurants\, bars\, and small businesses. Participants will see them at dusk\, as they start to come to life and when they look their best. Some have been beautifully restored; all are in perpetual danger of disappearing. Rinaldi will discuss their materials\, design\, origins\, and future. The meeting point will be announced to ticket holders shortly in advance of the tour date. \nThomas Rinaldi grew up in the Hudson River Valley near Poughkeepsie\, New York. He is the author of Patented: 1\,000 Design Patents (Phaidon\, 2021)\, New York Neon (W.W. Norton\, 2012)\, and the co-author of the book Hudson Valley Ruins: Forgotten Landmarks of an American Landscape (University Press of New England\, 2006). His photographs have been published in the New York Times\, the Wall Street Journal\, the New York Post\, the New York Observer\, Westchester Magazine\, CNN Online\, and have been exhibited at the New York State Museum at Albany and at the Municipal Art Society of New York. He holds degrees from Georgetown University and Columbia University\, and has worked for the National Park Service\, the New York State Office of Parks\, Recreation & Historic Preservation\, and the Central Park Conservancy. Rinaldi currently works as an architectural designer in New York City.

She teaches at the New School and NYU. \nMarlene McCarty is an artist\, designer\, and activist who lives and works in NYC.
