Note: We must cap RSVPs at 50. This is far more than they usually provide tours for, so the group will be divided in/half with one official guide/historian each. If you RSVP please be certain you can show up. Otherwise change your RSVP so someone else can attend.
Update 5/15: After our tour, please consider joining us for an afternoon food & drink social at a historic sports bar & speakeasy back in Manhattan. Please RSVP separately so we can keep them apprised of attendance.
