UPPER EAST SIDE?Architectural historian Barry Lewis, who has hosted a series of walking tours on PBS, will be offering a Fifth Avenue vs. Central Park West face-off next Tuesday, October 29, at 6:30 p.m. at the Upper East Side's Temple Emanu-El. Some lecture deets: "Lewis' comparative exploration will dissect the many eccentricities of the avenues, including Fifth Avenue's opulent though short-lived Gilded Age mansions (many of which stood for less than 20 years) and the origin of the twin-towered apartment building that gives Central Park West its special skyline."
