City Walk | East Village Rock Tour: Part 2
Rock n' roll has been deeply rooted in our neighborhoods since the art form was first invented, with many of its greatest practitioners drawn here to live or perform, while others had their careers launched here. Alongside rock n' roll history is the rich history of archetecture in our neighborhoods. We'll discover both the history of those who impacted music, as well as the architectural history of the places where they made such an impact. From the Ramones to the Beastie Boys, and Patti Smith to Nirvana, our neighborhood is lined with the buildings that opened their doors to these icons of rock n' roll. Songs such as The Ramone's "I Just Wanna Have Something to Do" reference the precise locations in our neighborhoods. The venues that once set the stage for legendary bands may be of the past, but the buildings still stand in the present. No one tour can comprehensively cover all of the rock history in our neighborhood. Below find a detailed description for each tour so you can choose the one that most appeals to you. Follow the Village Preservation team as we guide you through the architectural history of rock n' roll and uncover the star-studded background of our streets.
