The East Village, Alphabet City & The Lower East Side Tour is a 4 hour walking tour. The East Village was for many years, the home of many artists, musicians, writers and performers and I relate some of that incredible history. There are many independent businesses in the East Village, Alphabet City and the Lower East Side, as gentrification has been slow to arrive in these neighborhoods. There is also some very good graffiti here and this is a very good neighborhood to shoot street photography or if you just want to explore the neighborhood and take urban landscape photos.
This is a private tour and the cost is $320 for a group up to 4 people. (Inquire for larger groups.) For more information or to reserve a tour contact me. A 50% deposit is required to reserve a date. You can choose to be met at your hotel or meet in a designated location. The time listed for the tour is the minimum about of time that we can reasonably see and shoot here. We can definitely do a longer tour if you like. An additional hour is $80 and it is possible that I will be able to accommodate that during our tour. Tours run rain or shine short of extreme weather.
For photo tours (beginners to advanced,) assistance is provided on camera use, techniques and photographic opportunities. Genres include (but are not limited to) urban landscapes, graffiti and street photography.
“Well done - This was a great way to see the real views of the neighborhoods. Leanne is really good on talking about the history and interesting facts of the areas while pointing out things to photograph and giving some insight into her photographic style. I learned some new techniques and my wife, who was not taking photographs, enjoyed the information. On returning to New York in the future we would definitely take another tour with Leanne.” - Barry, Dallas, Texas
