Walking Tour of Sutton Place

Our original walking tour location! Organized by Sutton Place Social magazine, led by Manhattan historian Joyce Gold.

Starting in the 1920s, creative and influential women of means saw an intriguing alternative to Fifth Avenue. Together, Anne Morgan, Elisabeth Marbury, and Anne Vanderbilt chose to totally renovate townhouses on one far Eastside block between 57th and 58th Streets, called Sutton Place. The area had a checkered past of middle-class residents pushed out by industry and the working poor. These three women began the creation of the beautiful off-the-beaten-path neighborhood of today. Tour highlights include: “Amazon Enclave”; society women who first enter professions; stories of actors, writers, musicians and other creative people who chose the neighborhood; a private road east of Sutton Place; small public parks facing the East River.
