Hi everyone, Tom here from the Bowery Boys. I haven't disappeared. I have just been

spending all of my time up at 61st Street and 5th Avenue, taking in the high drama

that is swirling about our two favorite families, the Russells and the Van Rines.

That's right, the Gilded Age is back for season three on HBO,

and I'm co-hosting the official Guilded Age podcast, along with Alicia Malone from TCM.

Every week, we examine the history that is packed into every TV episode,

and we interview the actors and the artists who bring the show to life.

You can find new podcasts every Sunday night after the TV show airs, wherever you get your podcasts,

and this season you can also watch us, too, on HBO Max, on YouTube, or wherever you watch videos.

We'll see you at the official Gilded Age podcast.

And this week on the Bowery Boys podcast, Greg and I thought that we would present one of our all-time favorite shows, our

re-edited, remastered version of the rise and fall of Fifth Avenue Mansions, which tells the

whole story of Fifth Avenue from its initial development in the 1820s

to its transformation into the country's most stylish residential address. We hope you enjoy the show.

And if you'd actually like to see some of those surviving mansions for yourself,

join us on our most popular walking tour, the Gilded Age

mansions of Fifth Avenue, which is offered multiple times a week by Bowery Boys Walks.

Go to Bowery Boyswalks.com to join us on Fifth Avenue. And now, enjoy the show.

Thank you. now, enjoy the show. Hi there, welcome to the Bowry Boys.

This is Greg Young.

And this is Tom Myers.

And today, we're taking you on a journey down the riteous street in New York City, Fifth Avenue, known better today for department stores
