NYAC Walks: Private Streets of Forest Hills Garden

Grab a breath of fresh air in Forest Hills Garden, the quaint private community tucked away in Queens and the home of politicians and actors alike. Founded in 1909 and inspired by egalitarian British garden cities, the 175-acre neighborhood now consists of over 800 houses and 11 apartment buildings, tudor architecture, and the renowned West Side Tennis Club, home of numerous US National Championships. This exclusive walking tour will take you through private streets and gardens, and by the residences of Geraldine Ferraro, Thelma Ritter, Dale Carnegie and Burt Bacharach, to name a few. If real estate gets you hungry, you’ll be happy to know that the experience finishes up at a local eatery, so come down to discover an unknown world in the heart of Queens. -Wear comfortable walking shoes and come prepared for the cool weather -Please validate ticket with the guide -Non-refundable sales
