Yorkville Scavenger Hunt

The Friends of the Upper East Side Historic Districts, a preservation organization, is challenging families to discover traces of old Germany in contemporary Manhattan. Participants in this scavenger hunt — they can come in teams or be assigned to them on arrival — will explore the Yorkville neighborhood and earn points by carrying out tasks like discovering a 150-year-old farmhouse or tracking down the world’s best apple strudel. Prizes, a reception and a deeper knowledge of local history will all follow. The event is free, but registration is required.
