The Millionaires of the Fifth Avenue Gold Coast

The Millionaires of the Fifth Avenue Gold Coast

"The very rich…are different from you and me."

On this weekend's tour, The Fifth Avenue Gold Coast, you'll see where the very rich of the late 19th and early 20th century chose to flaunt just how different they were. Today the avenue still holds an aura of exclusivity that invites us to explore its architecture, personages, and stories of fortunes accumulated and spent. The creation of Central Park in the 1870s destined Fifth Avenue — the park's eastern border — to become one of New York's most elegant addresses. Great historic mansions, including those of Henry Clay Frick and James B. Duke, began to line the avenue. Much of the wealth that created this Gold Coast was earned rather than inherited.

Spirits of '76! American Revolution Pub Crawl

Spirits of '76! American Revolution Pub Crawl

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happy Hour! . . Well, maybe that's not how the founding fathers envisioned it, but that's not to say that booze didn't have a crucial role to play in the American Colonies' fight for independence, especially in Lower Manhattan! Since the days of Nieuw Amsterdam, New York has always been a town of liberty and drinking. So when the British tried to tax the molasses that was being turned into precious rum in 1775, you knew we weren't going to stand for it!

Who knew that the cradle of the revolution was actually found in the back rooms of "Liberty Pubs" across the city and the foment of the revolution was found in a mug of locally brewed ale? Well, Ben Franklin did:

The Pub Crawl was a one-of-a-kind journey covering about a mile amidst the imbibing of cocktails in exciting, historic, and exclusive locales.

At the start of the tour Sam declared that "by the second pub, I'm largely irrelevant." As I look around at the seven people who started tonight as strangers and who are now laughing and chatting, I can see what he means.
