Join Carl Raymond, host of The Gilded Gentleman history podcast (produced by Bowery Boys Media) and professional guides from Bowery Boys Walks, Emma Guest-Consales, PhD and Jeff Dobbins, for a unique insider’s look at the city of the Gilded Age from a perspective only a New York City tour guide can give.
Carl, Emma and Jeff are all licensed professional New York City tour guides with a passion for the architecture, art, and culture of this period that brought the city into the modern age.
For fans of the new HBO series, “The Gilded Age”, this panel discussion is a perfect chance to hear stories and secrets from neighborhoods uptown and downtown and those in-between that have been portrayed on the show — along with further tales of the characters that made it all happen.
Carl, Emma and Jeff will take questions from the audience in the final section of the program. The audience will also learn about upcoming walking tours and virtual experiences that all three guides will be hosting in the future.
