Jane's Walk NYC 2026: Old Gods of Manhattan (May 1)
05/01/2026 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM ET
Admission
- Free
Summary
New York claims to be a rationalist city of the future, so why are there old gods everywhere?
Do these monuments simply offer familiarity, stability, and continuity to a city full of strangers?
Or is there something deeper at play?
Join us for a short walk in and around some of the city’s most iconic buildings seeking to answer the question: why are these idols actually here?
You’ll have a chance to share your thoughts. This is a conversation as much as a tour.
We know you don’t want to go to 42nd Street on a Saturday, but this time it’ll be worth it. It might just change how you see these buildings, midtown, and New York.
Meet near 42nd and 5th Ave at the base of the flag pole in front of the NYPL We’ll make several stops on our way to Pershing Square.
