As COVID-19 has made enjoying NYC more difficult, The New York Times has taken upon itself to create virtual walking tours around town. These tours are curated by the chief architecture critic Michael Kimmelman who provides each tour with beautiful photos of the area he's exploring plus short histories and information about the streets, businesses, and attractions of the neighborhoods being shown.
This is a continuing series but, so far, Kimmelman has provided tours of Chinatown, Harlem, the Financial District, Jackson Heights, the East River, and more. I hope that he also explores some of the more remote parts of the city like City Island, the Rockaways, Bayridge, and many others. This is a project that I hope has a long life.
