What To Expect

John's of 12th Street

We begin in the East Village at an historic NY "red sauce joint" frequented by Lucky Luciano plus many others. Multiple films created at the restaurant such as "Boardwalk Empire" "Sopranos" "Get Gotti" and more. This is where in 1931 Luciano creates the mafia Commission. The HBO series "Boardwalk Empire filmed here as well as Sopranos, Get Gotti and most recently documentary to be released shortly "After Goodfellas" starting once of our tour guides. John’s of 12th was established in March 1908 by another John, John Pucciatti. Pucciatti Immigrated from Umbria, Italy to the present-day East Village, where there was a thriving Italian American community centered around 1st Avenue. John’s’ current owner, Lowell Fein now owns the restaurant with partners Paul Dauber, Robbie Rundbaken, and, continuing the namesake’s legacy. The Italian neighborhood where Pucciatti moved to in the East Village existed even before Little Italy. We are the only Mafia experience allowed to enter the joint.....

Liz Christy Bowery Houston Community Garden

Considered the oldest community garden in New York, Liz Christy Community Garden was established in 1973. In late 1973 and early 1974, the community activist group the Green Guerillas, among them an energetic member named Liz Christy, cleared the lot at the northeast corner of the Bowery and East Houston. In late April 1974, the New York City Office of Housing Preservation and Development agreed to rent the site for a $1 a month to the Bowery Houston Community Farm and Garden. The land where the Liz Christy Garden now stands has seen many changes in its history.

Chinatown

Chinese traders and sailors began trickling into the United States in the mid eighteenth century; while this population was largely transient, small numbers stayed in New York and married. Beginning in the mid nineteenth century, Chinese arrived in significant numbers, lured to the Pacific coast of the United States by the stories of "Gold Mountain" California during the gold rush of the 1840s and 1850s and brought by labor brokers to build the Central Pacific Railroad. Most arrived expecting to spend a few years working, thus earning enough money to return to China, build a house and marry.As the gold mines began yielding less and the railroad neared completion, the broad availability of cheap and willing Chinese labor in such industries as cigar-rolling and textiles became a source of tension for white laborers, who thought that the Chinese were coming to take their jobs and threaten their livelihoods. Mob violence and rampant discrimination in the west drove the Chinese east.

The area was first home to Dutch settlers and the Lenape tribe during the 1600s2.
