Join us for an interview with Instagram historian Keith Taillon ( @keithyorkcity ), whose detailed posts about New York's history have earned him nearly 60,000 followers and launched a successful tour business. Keith shares the story behind his remarkable pandemic project of walking every single block of Manhattan in 2020, capturing the empty city in photographs that now appear in his first book, " Walking New York: Manhattan History on Foot ." From his childhood fascination with urban history to his graduate studies at Hunter College, Keith reveals how his personal journey led him to become one of the city's most engaging historical storytellers. You'll hear how he crafts walking tours that go beyond landmark-hopping to explain why New York looks and functions the way it does. Plus: Listen to Keith's appearances on The Gilded Gentleman Podcast episodes on The Real Mamie Fish , The Hidden World of Gramercy Park , and a Gilded Age Tour up Manhattan .
