Cold War Spies of the Upper East Side Walking Tour

On this tour you will learn about the Soviet and other Cold War spies that have been active in this part of the City. We will start off by learning about some important Soviet handlers including Gaik “the Puppetmaster” Ovakimian, Jacob Golos, and Elizabeth Bentley. With that foundation we’ll move on to other characters that include a schoolteacher that soured diplomatic relations for decades, Earnest Hemingway, a leggy South African seductress, the couple next door that stole atomic bomb plans, and many more!
