WEEKLY Ws: “Four Walking Tours of Modern Architecture in New York City” – Part 2

We recently came across a four-inch-by-six-inch paperback, just 76 pages long, hidden on a shelf of travel books.  It’s a collection of walking tours devoted to Modern Architecture compiled by the Municipal Art Society of New York and The Museum of Modern Art.  The book’s timeless suggestions are as interesting today as they were when the book was first published in 1961.  This week we’ll share some excerpts from “Tour No. 3: Third Avenue (East 50s, 40s and United Nations).”
