The Bowery Official Historic District Tour

Преглед

Join us on a journey through over four centuries as we walk down NYC’s oldest street! Originally a Native American footpath and Dutch farm road, site of the first free Black homesteads, it witnessed gang wars, the bloody Astor Place Riot, & Lincoln’s famous anti-slavery speech at Cooper Union. It was the working-class main street for sailors, shopgirls, gangs, gays, and waves of immigrant Irish, Italians, Germans, Jews, and Chinese. NYC’s first entertainment district, it has seminal links to tap dance, vaudeville, Yiddish theater, Houdini, Stephen Foster, Irving Berlin, Mae West, modern tattooing, Abstract Expressionism, Beat literature, improvisational jazz and punk rock. Though it declined in the 1900s, when flop houses and dive bars proliferated, it nonetheless became home to affordable jewelry, lighting, and restaurant supply stores, and a live-work home for artists like Marc Rothko, Maya Lin, William Burroughs, Robert Frank, and Debbie Harry.

This was my second tour with Ramona. She’s fantastic. Not only is she very well informed of the history, which is key, but also patient when I comment with my light insights. I highly recommend her tours.

THE most interesting and informative walking tour! Ramona was a great guide and so very knowledgeable. Until my sister and I joined this tour, we would not have any idea of the significant history of Bowery Street, including the colourful and dark stories that shaped the area, the changes both good and bad! Ramona was a wealth of information and this is something I will remember for a long time, certainly piqued my interest to investigate further history!! Thanks Ramona 😎

We had been meaning to take this tour for a while, and it didn't disappoint! Ramona was a fantastic tour guide and tailored the tour to our interests, using specialty knowledge of hers (music publishing and entertainment history). It would have taken extensive research to find out some of the things we learned on this tour, and instead we had a nice day outside! Thanks Ramona!
