Walking Tour of Classical New York

Join Fordham’s own Matthew McGowan, chair of the Department of Classics, as he guides us on a walk of classical New York. The Fordham University Press recently published Classical New York, a book edited by Professor McGowan, so suffice it to say that he’s an expert! The tour will give us a firsthand look at some of the publication’s material.

We’ll begin our tour at St. Peter’s Church, the oldest Catholic parish in New York. We’ll then proceed to St. Paul’s Chapel of Trinity Church, and we’ll complete our tour at Trinity Church itself.

Please Note: The entire tour will be approximately 0.5 miles on mostly flat ground. This event will happen rain or shine! If it does rain, just remember that we’ll be inside of churches for most of the walk.

After our guided tour, we’ll head to lunch at a restaurant near Trinity Church. Professor McGowan will share additional insights with us as well as answer any remaining questions. Lunch is also a great opportunity to get to know some of your fellow Rams!

Tickets for the entire event are $60 per person.

A reminder email with additional information will be sent to you one week prior to the event.

Don’t miss this special day exploring some of New York’s most iconic churches!
