Despre activitate
A walking tour meets street theater in this immersive performance of New York language and slang. Set in the historically linguistic melting pot of the Lower East Side, this two hour interactive experience brings the slang, accents, and languages of NYC to life through a performing guide in character as "The Tour" — but all guests participate.
•Break the ice with a small talk activity where chalk becomes the marker of your personal space.
•Participate in a scavenger hunt for stickers printed with common words New Yorkers pronounce in a funny way
•Find newspapers hidden in odd places as a delivery boy recounts in verse the impact media has on our everyday speech.
•Dance like it's 1990 in a demonstration of hip hop moves that originated in NYC
•Hail a ride from a multilingual Chinatown dispatcher...just be sure you know what street you're on.
•Listen to "Nico Ramone" rant about the problems in his bohemian life as you try to guess the words he borrows from Yiddish.

PLEASE ARRIVE 10 MINUTES EARLY for check in. We cannot accommodate late arrivals, and once we begin we cannot answer the phone out of respect to other guests. If you are unsure you will be able to arrive on time, please contact us by email, and we will reply as soon as the tour is over. To plan accordingly, Subway commutes from Midtown and the Financial District are approximately 20 minutes; taxis and Ubers are also abundantly available but may take longer due to Manhattan traffic.
