Walt Whitman meets P.T. Barnum. Our walk starts about one block north of SoHo outside the former site of Pfaff’s Cafe, a favorite of Walt Whitman’s and through his eyes we will journey down Broadway and experience the 1850s: Buildings, Theaters, Brothels, Stories, Characters (some of the unsavory type). We’ll end near P.T. Barnum’s American Museum, the Astor House, Genin’s Bridge, and learn how the Swedish Nightingale made someone very happy.
