A walking tour meets street theater in this interactive performance of New York language and slang. Set in the historically linguistic melting pot of the Lower East Side, this two hour exploration of words and accents is led by licensed NYC tour guide Nic Reale in character as "The Tour"—but all guests participate. Together everyone explores more than the origin of local phrases or how New Yawkers tawk; we also communicate across the city’s diverse cultures to see how they form a new one.
This event is great if you love:
group participation, funny voices, costumes, linguistics, sociology, immigration, LES, making new friends, music, slang, scavenger hunts
Recommended Ages: 14+ (due to pace of walk, collegiate-level academic topics, mild adult content)
Duration: 2 hours // 1.8 mi (2.9 km)
