We’ll go on a Williamsburg walking tour — headphones on — and listen to personal stories experienced in temporal spaces that Wikipedia, the Internet, and ChatGPT can’t offer. Exclusive recorded oral histories from bands, local promoters, industry folks, and showgoers will accompany the tour while we walk to the sites of former DIY venues. We’ll end and dine at Kellogg’s Diner, a popular late-night stop for touring bands.
BRING: Charged smartphones with Wi-Fi / Cellular Data access, headphones, comfy shoes.

Accessibility
Nearby subway stations: G, L (Lorimer-Metropolitan); L (Bedford Ave). Buses and Citibike stations are located throughout the neighborhood. The walk will span about eight stops within the North Williamsburg area and about five to 10 minutes of walking between each location — fairly flat grounds. We'll be near local businesses and cafes, so there are options for restrooms, snacks, and beverages.
