Overview

Take a stroll through the 19th-century with a guide hand-picked by The Bowery Boys New York City history podcast. Join this unique tour of the once elegant Bond Street NOHO neighborhood, former home to some of New York’s most famous families. You’ll learn how the neighborhood from the Bowery to Washington Square evolved into an enclave of the rich and famous, as well as the fringes of the 19th-century underbelly.

Your expert guide Carl will lead you along 19th-century cobblestone streets and introduce you to characters in this real-life drama, such as John Jacob Astor, Washington Irving, Charles Dickens, Edgar Allan Poe, Mrs. Astor, and Edith Wharton.

Our tour will pass by such New York landmarks as the famous Colonnade Row, the Public Theater, and Cooper Union. You’ll also imagine the drama that unfolded on today’s Astor Place during the Opera House riot of 1847.

We’ll visit the site of the notorious 1857 Bond St. Murder, which remains one of New York’s unsolved murder mysteries!
