Description
We proudly host a 2-hour, 1.6-mile walking guided tour that explores the gangsters and ghosts of NYC’s past in the neighborhoods where it all took place! Learn about NYC’s Gangster and Ghost History while cutting across Manhattan’s infamous districts such as The Five Points, Chinatown, Little Italy and The West Village. In the 19th and 20th centuries these areas were known for shady partying, deal-making, and threats, riddled with speakeasy saloons, secret underground tunnels used by bootleggers, and the famous Gangsters of NYC’s Past. The tour takes place where the understanding and depiction of the 20th century gangster began.
Guests will have the rare opportunity to visit these heralded haunted locations and old crime scenes where it all went down over 100-years ago. This Halloween special runs on two nights only, October 30 and 31, and is for adults and teens, 13 and over.
Hosted by historians, it is not a theatrical guided tour; rather, the stories are told in a more intimate, historical setting that really paints a picture for guests into NYC’s past. Spooky, real tales of the ghosts and gangsters of NYC’s street will be shared along the tour route as the group stops at each famous location.
