The East Village and the Immigrant Experience

Janes Walk

Led By Steve Madeja

Welcome, you tired, you poor, you huddled masses yearning to breathe free, to the East Village! On this tour, we’ll explore the four centuries of immigrant history – Italian bakeries, Ukrainian butchers, Yiddish theaters, Dutch graveyards, German libraries, Irish pubs – and we’ll do it all in the space of six blocks.

This walk is sold out and the waitlist is full.
