178 East 101st Street. It’s where Cicely Tyson spent much of her childhood, and where we’ll kick off our virtual walking tour of historic East Harlem this week with Landmark East Harlem.

The walk starts just outside Tyson’s fifth-floor walkup on 101st, then winds its way north past murals, mosaics and sites with stories including Duffy’s Hill (La Colina), St. George & St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, Fire Engine Co. 53, the Julia de Burgos Latino Cultural Center, Metropolis Studios and more.

Join us to learn the history of the blocks surrounding the 101st Open Street. The tour is part of Jane’s Walk, an annual festival of free, community-led walking conversations inspired by activist Jane Jacobs. See you Thursday at 11 on your phone (Instagram Live).
