EAST VILLAGE WALKING TOURS
GANGSTERS, MURDERERS, & WEIRDOS
From the "Golden Age" of the American Gangster at the turn of the twentieth century (where this area was reported to boast 300 brothels, 300 gambling joints, and 360 gang hangouts), to the bohemian arts and drug culture of the 1960s, 70s and 80s, some of the most colorful characters, gangs, anarchists, terrorists, activists, artists, and weirdos in history have called the East Village home. From Al "Scarface" Capone, Bugsy Siegal, and Charles "Lucky" Luciano to Bernie Goetz, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, the Black Panthers, The Young Lords, The Hells Angels, and many many more.
