| East Village Day Tour |
 Located between Houston and 14th Street, East Village is the lesser-known side of Broadway. The region has garnered fame as the home of immigrants as well as radicals and freethinkers. The tour brings together two facets of East Village - the history of German, Ukrainian, and Jewish immigrants along with a legacy of labor activism. You will learn about the influence of the immigrant culture on the local theater scene as it evolved from local Yiddish stages of the early 20th century to becoming the epicenter of the 1970s counter-culture music scene! Stops could include: the Fillmore East, St. Mark’s Church-in-the-Bowery, the historic Marble Cemetery, the Public Theater, and sites associated with Peter Cooper, Dorothy Day, Peter Stuyvesant, Sophie Tucker, and the General Slocum disaster of 1904.
