The Algonquin Round Table will come alive again this spring to mark the 85th anniversary of the birth of the famed literary group. Walking tours and lunch at the Algonquin Hotel’s round table will begin Sunday, May 23, and continue monthly through August.
All walking tours begin and end at the landmark Algonquin Hotel, 59 West 44th Street. Immediately following the walking tour guests have the option of having lunch at the Round Table, the same place that Dorothy Parker and Robert Benchley traded quips in the 1920s.
All walking tours are approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours in length; the tour begins at Noon in front of the Algonquin and ends inside the Round Table room. Please wear comfortable shoes as the walk encompasses nearly 30 blocks.
