City Walk | “Beyond the Beatniks: The Hidden History of St. Mark's Place” Tour


St. Mark's Place staked its claim as an epicenter of pioneering radical arts, activism and counterculture in America over half a century ago -- but there is much more than meets the eye. Before the beatniks, hippies and punks (and way before the t-shirt and yogurt shops), St. Mark's Place served as an important social and political hub for the ever changing immigrant groups populating the neighborhood over the last 150 years. Eric Ferrara leads this tour that peels back the layers of myths, legends and misconceptions of St. Mark's Place to reveal little known history about this fascinating street and time capsule of East Village/Lower East Side/New York City history.
