Discover the Bowery: originally a Native American footpath and Dutch farm road, this site of the first free Black homesteads, gang wars, the bloody Astor Place Riot, and Lincoln’s famous anti-slavery speech at Cooper Union. It was the working-class main street for all sorts of social minorities and waves of migrants. The Bowery is also home to NYC’s first entertainment district, tap dance, vaudeville, Yiddish theater, Houdini, Stephen Foster, Irving Berlin, Mae West, modern tattooing, Abstract Expressionism, Beat literature, improvisational jazz, and punk rock. It became the place to purchase affordable jewelry, lighting, and restaurant supplies, as well as a live-work home for artists like Marc Rothko, Maya Lin, William Burroughs, Robert Frank, & Debbie Harry. Don't miss this unique chance to explore it in depth. Get your tickets now for the Bowery Official Historic District Tour in NYC!

A break half way through would have been very welcome - maybe is some historic place with seating

A very good tour! Questions I had during the tour were answered with confidence. Our tour guide, Ramona used a strong voice and gave constant tid bits of "the way it was back then"
