모두 보기- 'The Grand Tour of Europe: History of the European Rite of Passage' Webinar위치가 필요합니다.USD 12.00
Tickets: $12 (includes access to the full replay for one week)
Click the link below to officially register for this experience:
While the idea of a young adult traveling throughout Europe before they enter 'the real world' might seem like a modern phenomenon, think again. Dating back to the 16th century, young European men were encouraged to travel to important historic sites throughout the continent for the purpose of becoming more worldly. How did this trend evolve throughout the centuries and how did it catch on in different parts of the globe? It's time to uncover one of the most important coming-of-age trips in the history of the western world.
Join New York Adventure Club as we explore the history of the Grand Tour, a rite of passage initially reserved for wealthy European young adults that took them to countries like France and Italy to become more educated and enriched individuals.
Led by Archaeologist and Egyptologist, Stacey Anne Bagdi, our virtual experience surrounding the Grand Tour — with a focus on British travelers to Europe during the 18th century — will include:
- An overview of the what the Grand Tour was all about — its origins, heyday, and transition to tourism as we know it today
- A discussion around who went on this elite tourist trip, as well as the notorious “Bear-Leaders” who'd be responsible for shepherding the young men on the trip
- The primary routes of travel from Britain to Europe, with stories surrounding the difficulties of traveling by roads, sea, and even through the Alps
- A closer look at what went on during the tour, including where these British travelers stayed, what food they ate during the 18th century, and what activities they undertook to enrich their experiences
- A deep dive into untold female stories from the Grand Tour, such as the trailblazers who traveled solo
Afterward, we'll have a Q&A session with Stacey — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged!

Tickets: $12 (includes access to the full replay for one week)

“The waiter spreads your table with a neat linen cloth, and touching a spring, opens the mirror between windows at your side, disclosing to view the silver service belonging to each quartet of diners. Then a savory steak of beef or antelope, mountain trout or broiled chicken are placed before you smoking hot. Wine, tea, coffee or fresh milk are at your command.” -European rail traveler dining aboard a Pullman Dining Car, 1879
While railroads completely transformed public transportation in 19th century America, it was George Pullman who figured out how to create a more luxurious experience on the rails. From sleeper car to hotel car and finally a luxurious dining car (appropriately named the Delmonico), Pullman made sure his train car became the standard for luxury dining when it came to train travel. How did his innovation launch a cottage industry and elevate the passenger experience well into the 20th century? It's time to uncover the incredible legacy behind this train car like never before.Join New York Adventure Club as we take a trip back in time to discover how and why the elaborate Pullman cars changed the game of luxury rail travel, and what it was like to partake in a meal aboard a sumptuous moving dining room.
Led by author and food historian Becky Libourel Diamond, our fun and informative virtual experience will include:
- The importance of the railroad to the Gilded Age, and the era’s millionaire railroad tycoons who helped make it happen, such as Jay and George Gould, Cornelius and William Vanderbilt, August Belmont, and Robert Goelet
- A deep dive into George Pullman, the man who revolutionized rail travel, along with a look at the evolution of his train car over the decades
- A behind-the-scenes look at efficiency on the Pullman Car, from square bread loaves to compact kitchens
- The types of foods and meals served, including cost and sample menus
- Service aboard Pullman cars and the significance of black porters to the company’s success
- A look at the “La Rabida” — first displayed at Chicago’s 1893 Columbian Exposition, this dining car is recognized as the most over-the-top dining car in Pullman history
- Pullman cars at the turn of the century, including the company’s business deals and leadership succession
- The significance of other forms of travel in the 20th century and how they affected the Pullman legacy
Afterward, we’ll have a Q&A with Becky — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged!
