Gangs of the Lower East Side

 

 

Welcome to one of the most historic neighborhoods in America!

The Lower East Side is the countries original "melting pot", setting the template for modern-day, multi-ethnic, working-class America, and giving birth to a wide variety of social, political, and cultural movements which continue to influence culture around the globe.

"So exiting! I literally traced the foot steps of Lucky Luciano and all the greats -- and heard the colorful stories behind them. It was truly facinating!"
-Alan Corvin, Washington

"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."
-Time Out New York review
