Calvert Vaux

When Michelle and I were writing our first book, Frommer's 24 Great Walks in New York (sadly out of print, but available here), we were surprised to discover that the person who appeared the most number of times in the index was Calvert Vaux, co-architect of Central Park. It shouldn't really have been that surprising -- we love his work and include it on many of our walking tours.

Anyway, apropos of that, I wrote a fun piece for Curbed about Vaux's imprint on New York City. I hope you enjoy it!
