Halloween Prelude! Haunted Greenwich Village Tour
Fri, Oct 30, 7:00 PMNote that I am shifting this tour from Saturday the 31st to Friday the 30th in the afternoon due to having moved our Northwest Bronx tour from Saturday the 17th to the 31st. RSVPs open on Sunday, October 18th at 11:00am. Space is set aside for new group members, first and 2nd timers who land on the waiting list. Email me to request a spot AFTER you have RSVP'd. This is free with a welcome donation to your guide via cash, Venmo or Zeller at the end of the tour. Join us for a Halloween-themed tour to visit the haunted locations in Greenwich Village which is likely NYC's most ghostly neighborhood. Note that this tour is not for the faint of heart - at least we're not doing this at night which also allows for those indulging in Halloween night to go home and get your costumes ready! In between the haunted buildings and locations I will cover the multi-layered history of Greenwich Village from its early development 200 years ago through the area's artistic, literary, dramatic and musical legacies and impact on NYC's enduring creative spirit. I will also tell the backstory of the famous Village Halloween Parade. We'll meet in front of the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center which opens at 10am and has restrooms and worthwhile exhibits. Plenty of coffee shops nearby as well. https://stonewallvisitorcenter.org/ The tour will end at Washington Square Park. Cheers from your organizer, Hank 646-596-3005 hankorenstein@gmail.com Pictured: St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery is said to be haunted by the ghost of Peter Stuyvesant, the Governor of New Amsterdam in the mid-1600s whose was buried in a vault beneath the church.

Forest Hills Gardens Tour On Halloween-Members Appreciation-Limited Space
Sat, Oct 31, 2:30 PMAs of Monday October 26, 2 P.M. RSVP's are closed. Please actually read the description of the event extra carefully BEFORE you RSVP. I have led two tours of Forest Hills Gardens for the Guides Association of New York City. This event will be much better. This event will be strictly limited in size to around 15 members or so. No guests please. Unfortunately, I will NOT add any first timers who I do not know to this event. However I plan on doing another event in Queens in November where I will add first timers. I consider this a members appreciation event. We will NOT accept any monetary contributions on this one. I want to primarily reward those members who have supported this group in the recent past by attending at least one event and hopefully more with few cancellations. It helps if you are also a member of my other group called NYC Wanderers-those events have always no contribution events. See: https://www.meetup.com/nyc-wanderers/?eventOrigin=your_groups As always, the waitlist for this group does NOT operate in the conventional way. Those on the waitlist will NOT be moved automatically to the going list when a space becomes available. IF APPLICABLE, ALWAYS JOIN THE WAIT LIST WITH LOW PRIORITY WHICH IS FREE. IF THERE IS A WAITLIST, IT APPEARS MEETUP WILL ASK YOU IF YOU WANT TO JOIN MEETUP + BUT IN SMALLER LETTERS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE YOU CAN CLICK CONTINUE WITH THE FREE PLAN. There is NEVER a need to pay extra to use Meetup's High Priority wait list classification for this group. Forest Hills Gardens is a beautiful private planned community that looks a lot like it did when it was first designed in 1909. Halloween is a BIG deal in the gardens and thousands of people flock there each year. In other words, it's a madhouse especially on one street. We will avoid that by visiting in the morning and early afternoon. It will be a special treat because there will be many really interesting Halloween displays in the Gardens on Halloween. The event should last about 3 hours or so and if people want, they can eat in the neighborhood afterwards or do whatever they wish. There may be an opportunity to view one no longer active member's unique art collection. You probably won't see a better collection of NYC street scenes anywhere. Unfortunately, this member, who will remain anonymous, has many rules pertaining to the visit. To say that this member is a high maintenance individual is an understatement! (And hopefully, they don't read this!) It will be easy to get to the meeting location by public transportation and the Long Island Railroad. AS ALWAYS, PLEASE POST NO COMMENTS/QUESTIONS PRE-EVENT. RAIN DATE WILL BE SUNDAY NOVEMBER 1-many Halloween displays will still be up. Hope you can make it.

We'll cover the history of this area and how and why it developed as an enclave for NYC's wealthy elite and how gilded age wealth gave rise to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and helped establish the Upper East Side as a center of the art world. Starting out at the garden of the Cooper Hewitt museum (pictured in photo), which was originally the mansion home of Andrew and Louise Carnegie, we'll visit several local art galleries during our journey, along with several other indoor locations with spectacular architecture. We will venture inside several buildings that were constructed as gilded age mansions and are now public spaces. **Restrooms before the tour: Tarulucci e Vino Cafe at the Cooper Hewitt Museum.** You can enter the cafe via the garden without having to pay admission to the museum. There is a quick bag inspection by a security guard. There are also public restrooms at the Episcopal Church of the Heavenly Rest across the street from the garden at 90th Street & 5th Avenue. Once inside the church veer immediately to your right (one stall). **Other nearby options: Met Museum pay what you wish for NY residents. There is also an education entrance near 81st Street where you can go to the rest room withour visiting the museum.
