If you’re in the New York City area this weekend, come join AYON Studio principal and founder Angel Ayón, as he walks around Washington Heights sharing stories about its history and various points of interest. Hosted by the Historic Districts Council, the tour is based on his talk earlier this spring with Samson Jacobson, location manager for 2021’s hit movie musical In The Heights.
The tour will be held at 11 am on Saturday, June 25, and will explore this neighborhood’s buildings and public spaces, offering a unique experience of Caribbean culture. Home to one of the largest concentrations of Puerto Rican and Dominican communities outside of the islands, Washington Heights is celebrated for its unmatched vitality and strong connection to the vibrant Caribbean culture and music that has flourished there.
AYON Studio is currently working on several projects in the neighborhood, including properties at Saint Nicholas Place; on Broadway; at South Pinehurst and Pinehurst Avenues; on Bennet Avenue; at Saint Nicholas Avenue; and at Haven Street.
The tour is $15 for HDC Friends and Seniors, $25 General Admission. Register here!
