This walking tour, released in conjunction with the book Mortimer and the Witches, will guide us through the bustling and elegant historically-rich streets of Union Square, Stuyvesant Square, and Gramercy Park. Mortimer Thomson—the journalist who wrote under the pseudonym, Q.K. Philander Doesticks, P.B.—went undercover in 1857 to investigate and report on the fortune tellers of New York City’s tenements and slums. On this tour, we will examine the lives of some of the marginalized fortune tellers, learn of the fascinating relatives and friends who surrounded him (including the Prince of Wales) and explore Thomson's peculiar and complicated biography.
