Art and Architecture New York Tour: Jews of the Gilded Age

Since the early days of the United States, 5th Avenue has been a desired address. However, since the creation of Central Park, 5th Avenue became the elite address where the rich and famous hired the greatest architects to compete over who could outdo their peers. We are left with a 100+ years of art, gossip, and hilarity. These families laid the groundwork of the American Jewish community. We're going to explore the history of the Gilded Age through the mansions of the Upper East Side, but we'll highlight the contributions of the Jewish families who were not exactly welcomed into high society, so went about making a society of their own.
