Closing Bell: Sunset Park Walking Tour Tomorrow

Tomorrow the Sunset Park Landmarks Committee is holding a two-and-a-half hour walking tour through the heart of Sunset Park. It begins at the landmarked courthouse on 43rd Street and 4th Avenue and ends in Chinatown on 60th Street and 8th Avenue. “We will focus on history, architecture, development, ethnic diversity, and the potential to become a New York City landmark district,” as the tour info put it. (The LPC has not yet designated a district in the neighborhood.) Former Sunset Park resident and urban historian Joe Svehlak will lead the tour. There’s a $10 suggested donation to attend.
