Walking Tours of the Past and the Present. The theme of my neighborhood walking tours is to unite us with the past
through history, architecture, pictures & stories. We explore Manhattan's many neighborhoods through its
unique landmark skyscrapers, turn of the century mansions, brownstones, clubs,
public building & historic districts. Many of the buildings are New York City or national
landmarks with historic (Romanesque, Classical, Baroque, Queen Ann, Gothic,
Renaissance) or anti-historic (Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Modern, Post Modern)
styles of architecture. My specialized tours cross neighborhood
boundaries and focus on various other themes such as: gargoyles, Jewish history, Irish history, Italian history and outdoor art / sculpture.
Your guide, Alfred Pommer, is a college graduate, a native New Yorker and a licensed New York City Guide, who has spent over 20 years researching, creating and giving walking tours in Manhattan's many diverse neighborhoods.
