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

From the walking into John's on 12th where we enjoyed spaghetti with the best meatball, learned some interesting history and stories of the restaurant, had some laughs, then we moved on to Russo's, 1st time I'd ever had homemade mozzarella! Excellent! We then walked a long while but the tour was fillrd with wonderful architecture of NY. Dan told some amazing stories about the Italian mob and took us to the sites where historical mob activities occurred. I enjoyed it all. The next stop, The Original Benito One; words cannot explain how delicious the Eggplant Parmigiana was outstanding , the sauce, the sauce, the sauce was everything. Little Italy was a great experience. Very eye catching and a must see. Finally we ended our tour at LaBella Ferrara, the ladies were so welcoming and literally served our group after their shop had already closed. Talk about special treatment. The peanut butter canolli was so good and the lobster tail pastry was to die for. This tour was a long walk, be prepared, wear your best walking shoes and bring your appetite. Thank you Dan for a wonderful experience
