Highlights
  • East Village - We will visit the actual locations where 4 horrific and bizarre and mysterious murders occurred during the “Gritty City” era in New York City - the 1960s - 1990s. At each location we will discuss little-know insider facts about that case.

  • Professional tour guide
Additional Information

NO Mafia stories…no ghost stories…no olde, moldy “Gangs of New York” stories. We will visit the actual locations of 4 bizarre murders - all of which occurred during the gritty heyday of sleazy old New York City - the 1960s - 1990s. If you’re a fan of fascinating true crime books + podcasts + docu-series - then you’ve found the right tour - this is for you. One of the murders has a strange occult/satanic backstory - which I’m able to relate in detail as I lived for a decade in the building where this murder occurred. For each of the murders we’ll discuss, I’ve gone well beyond standard research and dug up surprising details buried in the actual case files, forgotten magazine articles, out-of-print books, and other resources. Please join me as we revisit a pre-gentrification New York - a city where anything could happen - and often did.


Please note:

  1. This tour may not be appropriate for young children. Parental guidance is suggested.
  2. We will take one short NYC bus ride.

Gritty crime tour NYC review - You may ask yourself why would I want to tour three murder sites?? This tour is for all true crime sleuths. Tour guide gave extensive background information, unknown facts for each case, and insightful theories. Tour was well worth the money. Imagine an enjoyable afternoon with a lawyer!!

Interesting - Interesting stories, hosted by a very knowledgeable and charismatic tour guide. Maybe consider updating the visuals on an iPad in color, some key phrases, and words on screen to mix it up a little bit, and maybe some music during the storytelling would be cool, just a thought. We were glad we attended! Eddie is well educated on the area, cases and the flow of the tour. Thanks so much!
