Ghosts of the East Village

Janes Walk

SOLD OUT, WAITLIST FULL

Led By Steve Madeja

Four centuries of ghosts, ghouls, murder and magic await you on this macabre tour of the East Village. You may spot a specter in a former speakeasy, share a beer with Houdini’s ghost at the oldest bar in Manhattan, or discover the Dutch general still patrolling his estate from beyond the grave. All the history on this tour is 100% real. The ghosts? Well, that’s up to you.
