Rock N Roll has lived, breathed, evolved and injected itself into NewYork City - transforming itself, the city, the people and the very culture of America and the world along the way. A walk through Manhattan's East Village is a walk through Rock N Roll history. Boston can have their Freedom Trail and Philly can keep their Liberty Bell, nowhere has more history, culture and tradition than New York
City and nowhere rocks nearly as hard. Since famed radio DJ Alan Freed coined the term Rock N Roll, New York has been its ground zero. Sure, you could go to Cleveland and walk through a museum, or surf Wikipedia until you're blind….OR you could immerse yourself in the very streets and sights where ordinary men and women became immortal rock gods and the proverbial "s**t went down." We're talking about a walking tour of the great Rock N Roll haunts of NYC, a one-of-a-kind pilgrimage through the East Village and Lower East Side. The Rocks Off Walking Tours will show you ALL OF IT and then some. See where , the Fillmore East, CBGB, Max's Kansas City, The Palladium, The Ritz / Webster Hall, Irving Plaza, Tompkins Square Park, where the Strokes got their start and tons more! Be prepared to walk the streets that LEGENDS have walked, p**s in urinals that Lou Reed p**sed in, see where your hosts performed concerts, booked concerts, worked security and got into fistfights. See where everyone who was anyone partied, played, created, and inspired the whole wide world. Who better to lead you on your journey through rock history than the dudes who eat, drink and occasionally vomit Rock N Roll, the guys who kneel at the altar of rock, devil horns raised. Our tour guides have spent a collective 500 years in the business and the neighborhood and are sick and tired of keeping all of their knowledge and passion to themselves. Let us enlighten you! You too can taste sweet, delicious Rock and Roll history.
