Overview

Travel back in time to the Roaring Twenties as your tour guide makes the past come alive.  You will visit Lower East Side pubs that served as speakeasies during Prohibition along with other hidden bars.  You will have boozy fun learning about this fascinating chapter of American history.   Experience what was converted from an old second-floor bank run by corrupt gangsters.  See just what lies behind a real pawnshop. Say the password through a peephole to gain entrance to a real speakeasy from the Prohibition era owned by one of the more infamous gangsters in American history.  Learn about who some of the colorful characters were—the gangsters, entertainers and madams alike—who brought the crowds in and kept the parties rolling right under the authorities noses as you move from one pub to the next with nary a hint of scandal.  It will be the Bee's Knees!
