The Bowery Official Historic District Tour

Огляд

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.

We had a wonderful experience on this walking tour with Ramona as our guide. She was truly knowledgeable and informative about this area and she had a fun personality that added to the New York experience. If we had walked these streets on our own, we would not have had the feeling of understanding the history in the same way, if we had not been with a walking tour. This tour company was very good about keeping in touch with us and making sure we met up with our guide at the right place and the right time. We would love to do more tours with this company. We were a Grandmother, daughter and two 13 yr old granddaughters, and everyone enjoyed the afternoon.

My guide, Ramona, was friendly and well-informed. She provided details about buildings and their deep and rich histories. I could sense her love for the neighborhood and passion for historic preservation of the district. This was one of the best guided tours I ever had. I can't wait to take her tour again!
