Alternative New York street art tour in Lower East Side

Take a guided tour through one of New York City’s oldest neighborhoods--the Lower East Side. The LES is well known for its diverse, ethnic neighborhoods and impressive street art. Historically, the neighborhood hosted immigrants coming off Ellis Island, and in the second half of the 20th century, it evolved into an artists' haven thanks to the counterculture movement of the 1960s. The area quickly exploded with creative expressive graffiti art during this time, depicting what would influence American society in the 21st century.
