The Lower East Side is the countries
original "melting pot"; in the 19th century, this
neighborhood set the template for modern-day, multi-ethnic,
working-class America. Becoming the most densely populated
slum in the country, a wide variety of social, political,
and cultural movements sprouted from the desperation and
poverty of the era. Though the area has recently undergone
rapid gentrification, the Lower East Side continues to influence
culture around the globe. Read

"Every American owes it to themself
to take this tour... (our guide) passionately detailed the birth
of a modern nation... It was incredible story-telling; thank you!"
-Susan Bishop, TX
"Whether you're into punk rock or the
immigrant history of the Lower East Side, (this tour) offers a wealth
of insight into the history and culture of this diverse New York
City neighborhood."
-About.com review
"Our guide was a 4th generation Lower
East Sider. This is the most authentic tour in NYC. Treat yourself
to this tour if you want more than someone reading to you from a
script!"
- Anne G., Boston, MA
"This was really enjoyable. I have lived
here for over 20 years and it turns out I didn't know anything about
my own neighborhood before this tour..."
-Stephen L., East Village, NY
"All the legendary
bad guys did time on the Lower East Side: Lucky Luciano, Al Capone,
Bugsy Siegel. Instead of trying to figure them out with movies-on-demand
and pulp bios, follow in their footsteps, literally."
-Staten Island Advance
"This tour covers a lot of ground—more
than 300 years’ worth—even if it only spans about four
city blocks. Along the way, fourth-generation East Villager Eric
Ferrara explains how, generations ago, anything below 14th Street
was considered the Lower East Side, and makes a convincing case
that the E-Vill, once the stomping grounds of the Astors, is returning
to its aristocratic heyday."
