East Village

Orpheum Theatre

The Orpheum Theatre, formerly Player's Theatre, is a 299-seat off-Broadway theatre on Second Avenue near the corner of St. Marks Place in the East Village neighborhood of lower Manhattan, New York City. There may have been a concert garden on the site as early as the 1880s, but there was a theatre there by 1904.[1] During the heyday of Yiddish theatre in the Yiddish Theater District in Manhattan, the venue was the Player's Theatre, and was part of the "Jewish Rialto" along Second Avenue.[2] By the 1920s, the theatre was exhibiting films, but was converted back to dramatic use in 1958,[1] with the first production, Little Mary Sunshine, opening in November 1959.[3] Significant productions include the revival and revamping of Cole Porter's musical Anything Goes in 1962, Your Own Thing in 1968, The Me Nobody Knows in 1970, The Cocktail Party in 1980, Key Exchange in 1981, Broken Toys! in 1981, Little Shop of Horrors in 1982, Sandra Bernhard's Without You I'm Nothing

Liz Christy Bowery Houston Community Garden

Considered the oldest community garden in New York, Liz Christy Community Garden was established in 1973. In late 1973 and early 1974, the community activist group the Green Guerillas, among them an energetic member named Liz Christy, cleared the lot at the northeast corner of the Bowery and East Houston. In late April 1974, the New York City Office of Housing Preservation and Development agreed to rent the site for a $1 a month to the Bowery Houston Community Farm and Garden. The land where the Liz Christy Garden now stands has seen many changes in its history.

Basilica Of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral

The Basilica of Saint Patrick's Old Cathedral is the original Cathedral Church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York. Since its opening over 200 years ago on the corner of Mott and Prince Streets in the Nolita section of lower Manhattan, its spiritual mission continues to be the great beacon for the Catholic Faithful and an American symbol of the triumph of religious freedom. Originally the worship center for a largely impoverished Irish community, St. Patrick's, over decades, expanded to provide for the spiritual and material needs of a diverse community, including Italian, African American, Chinese, and Vietnamese Catholics. The Godfather was filmed inside

Little Italy

Little Italy is a neighborhood in New York City that began developing in the 1840s when Italian immigrants began to settle in the area1. The area was first home to Dutch settlers and the Lenape tribe during the 1600s2. The neighborhood was popular amongst immigrants because of its population of local Italian speakers and traditional Italian culture1. Originally, Little Italy spanned from Lafayette Street to the Bowery and from Kenmare to Canal, but today it takes up roughly three blocks on Mulberry Street

What can I say? This crime and food walk was one of the highlights of our trip. Mid June, 2021, my daughter and I went to NY and she's into 'true crime'. We did a little research and came across this tour. It was amazing. Dennis is gracious and kind and a wonderful guide. The night last a few hours. We had amazing food along the way. And learned about Little Italy's historical mob roots. Dennis grew up in the area, knows all the local haunts and shares his story along the way. I've recommended to all my friends to look him up if they are ever in NY. The food alone justifies the price. Add in the history and Dennis' warmth and knowledge and it's a no brainer.
