Item Description
A private tour with Michael Sorkin, architecture critic, CUNY professor and author of Twenty Minutes in Manhattan. Take the walk featured in the book, from his Greenwich Village apartment to his studio in Tribeca, and learn about everything from the history of NYC tenement laws to the sociological ramifications of Disneyland to his own battle with an avaricious landlord.
Taking the torch from late urban activist Jane Jacobs, Sorkin discusses the ideological function of the urban neighborhood and its citizens, particularly as an antidote to the commercializing, gentrifying, homoginizing effects of capitalism. Delightful and informative, this romp will please anyone with affection for the big city.
Date to be coordinated with auction winner for June or July 2011
For up to four people
Tour lasts approximately two hours
