Join us on a special tour that will dive into the history of some of Manhattan’s long-lost elevated railroad lines through Downtown, Chinatown, and the Lower East Side.
Your expert tour guide Michael will lead you along former downtown sections of the 2nd Avenue and 3rd Avenue Elevated Railroads and will identify and examine the remnants, some of which still stand on our 21st Century streets.
This tour is organized by The Bowery Boys New York City History podcast with the goal of bringing history to life on the streets of the Big Apple.
