City Walk | Halloween Costume Photography Workshop on NYC Streets
This spooky season, face your photography fears head-on in the haunted heart of New York City! Participate in a thrilling afternoon where we literally put the "boo" in "bounced light" and turn those scary shadows into bold, beautiful portraits. Before hitting the haunted streets, the group will kick things off with a power-packed classroom session to demystify flash photography. You'll learn a fast, no-fuss process that'll help you conquer your fear and take control of your lighting--even in the darkest corners of the city. Once you've armed yourself with knowledge (and maybe some garlic), the group will head out into the urban night for a hands-on photowalk featuring a killer model, dramatic vibes, and endless street-style inspiration. Whether you're lighting under streetlamps or creating ghoulishly good shadows, every attendee will get their chance to direct, shoot, and shine. Open to all levels, especially the flash-curious and the flash-fearful. Costumes encouraged (but not required)... because let's be real, everything's more fun with a cape.

Tour | Tour of Gracie Mansion, Home of New York's Mayors
In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home would serve as the official residence of the First Family of New York City - a place where history is made, not merely recorded. As a historic house museum run by the Parks Department, sitting on 11 acres of grounds now known as Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 11 mayors, beginning with Mayor Fiorello H.
