Join Untapped New York’s chief experience officer Justin Rivers, FCRH ’01, for a stroll around the secrets of one New York City’s oldest public gathering spaces. Discover the story behind the monument to New York City’s first public Christmas tree. Uncover a historic tree in the park with a special history rooted in the park’s name. Learn about the park’s role in the invention of baseball. Locate the hidden mausoleum right next to the park, which is one of only two in the whole city. And of course there will be some lesser known Fordham connections explored as well.
After the tour, join us for delicious afternoon fare and drinks at Old Town Bar, owned and operated by alumnus Gerard Meagher, FCRH ’74.
