A special walking tour exploring U.S. presidents' connections with the dynamic district in the heart of New York City. Participants will learn about how presidents, including James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and Grover Cleveland, influenced the neighborhood's rich history. Author and tour guide Miriam Berman will lead participants through the Flatiron NoMad District, where historic political establishments like the old Fifth Avenue Hotel, the Hoffman House, and Stanford White's Madison Square Garden previously stood. During their tenure, presidents routinely met in these buildings for dinner parties, political gatherings, and meetings--even on election nights.
