One Week Away: Jane’s Walk NYC 2024 (May 3-5)
Walk Recommendations from President Elizabeth Goldstein
Editor’s note: Staten Islander News previously covered the call for entries for this year’s Jane’s Walk, as well as last year’s. Jane’s Walks did not occur prior to 2022 for several years during the pandemic.
Each year, it can feel nearly impossible to choose which walks to attend during Jane’s Walk NYC weekend. MAS President, Elizabeth Goldstein, is here to help!
Below, Elizabeth shares some of the walks on her itinerary, plus a few other favorites from this year’s roster. Take a look at her recommendations while you plan out your own Jane’s Walk NYC weekend itinerary.

Municipal Arts Society Of New York
The Municipal Art Society of New York (MAS) lifts up the voices of the people in the debates that shape New York’s built environment and leads the way toward a more livable city from sidewalk to skyline. MAS envisions a future in which all New Yorkers share in the richness of city life—where growth is balanced, character endures, and a resilient future is secured. Over more than 125 years of history, our advocacy efforts have led to the creation of the New York City Planning Commission, Public Design Commission, Landmarks Preservation Commission, and the Tribute in Light; the preservation of Grand Central Terminal, the lights of Times Square, and the Garment District; the conservation of more than 50 works of public art; and the founding of such civic organizations as the Public Art Fund, the New York Landmarks Conservancy, P.S. 1, the Historic Districts Council, the Park Avenue Armory Conservancy, and the Waterfront Alliance.
