Fifth Avenue is known for old money and grand architecture, but this walking tour, a new limited-run addition to the lineup, focuses on a different kind of resident: the dogs and cats who once lived in its most famous households. The route begins near Madison Square Park and follows the avenue north toward the Plaza Hotel, passing mansions, historic hotels, and clubs tied to some of the city's wealthiest Gilded Age families.
Guests hear stories connected to early cat and dog shows, animal mascots linked to landmark hotels and firehouses, and a Fifth Avenue demonstration that once helped shift public understanding of guide dogs. Well-behaved leashed or carried pets are welcome to join for free, making this one of the few tours in the lineup where four-legged guests can experience the history firsthand alongside their humans.
