Dive into the heart of Midtown Manhattan for a 2.5-hour journey that uncovers the gritty, heartwarming tales of NYC's holdouts. Discover how defiant property owners left their mark on the city, from skyscrapers with awkward entrances to buildings in bizarre shapes. Each of the 16 stops tells a unique story of resistance, from the elderly resident clinging to memories to the savvy businessman playing a high-stakes game. Inspired by Alpern and Durst's "Holdouts!", this walking tour is a tribute to the personal battles that shaped the city's skyline. Get your tickets for Holdouts: A NYC Architecture Walking Tour!
