Weird New York: Greenwich Village

Overview

Want to do something spooky, but you don’t believe in ghosts? Well, neither do we. Mostly. Sure, there was that time Auntie Gertrude appeared in the kitchen and berated us for still being single… but that was probably just the tequila talking.

The ghost thing may be up in the air, but what do we believe in? Murder, mayhem, and the CIA. So we’ve put together a tour for the kind of people who know that the orb in that picture is probably just a lens flare, but still want to go to the spot where a hippie got cut in half and stuffed in a boiler, or see where the CIA used prostitutes to dose unsuspecting men with LSD. Join us for this one-of-a-kind Halloween tour, covering locations and true bloody New York stories you won’t see or hear anywhere else. And if you happen to hear the voice of the dead hippie crying out from beyond the grave, well… that’s on you.

If you’re interested in history and true crime of New York this tour has it all. The tour takes you from New York’s early days up until the present. The tour is well paced and goes over infamous events that may have been forgotten. Russell is an awesome tour guide and brings a clever wit to the background of these events. Best tour we’ve been on in years.
