Walk Awesome is an immersive walking tour through New York City's neighborhoods, connecting you with the most fascinating people and places moving our city forward. Participants learn to see the city through the eyes of architects, designers and entrepreneurs and experience them in intimate conversations, all while walking and interacting with each other.
