Taught by Spencer Merlis

Spencer has been a lifelong explorer of the forgotten (mostly his keys). He loves to find urban challenges to climb on, swim to, rappelle down, sail to, run and walk through and more so he loves the adventures shared with friends along the way.

A virtual tour of New York City’s abandoned sites and their history.

Learn about forgotten subway stations, the US's largest mass grave located in the Bronx, the dilapidated fates of the City's most notorious insane asylums and prisons. For urban explorers, lovers of architecture and New York City and the plain old curious, this class guides you through the City's social and industrial progress and the towering decrepit ruins it has left behind.
