According to Barbara Weinstein, NYU's History department chair, Walkowitz's well-celebrated New York City: A Social History course "has been one of the most consistently attractive offerings" by the department.

Another course he offers, Walking New York, was rated by the student newspaper NYU Local as one of the "semester's best classes" across the college.
