East Village Walking Tour January 7, 2012

The East Village of New York City earned its reputation as a countercultural haven in the years following WWII, however the neighborhood's distinct progressive character dates back to the mid-seventeenth century as host to one of America's earliest "mixed" neighborhoods, Bouwerij Village.

Join Eric Ferrara, author and director of the Lower East Side History Project, and explore the 400 years of radical history which makes this district so unique to the rest of city.

From farmland to modern-day gentrification, Ferrara utilizes a decade of active research, rare maps, photos, documents, articles and oral histories not found elsewhere to provide a one-of-a-kind tour experience.
