ABOUT THE TOUR:

Join one of New York’s finest tour guides, Matt Levy on a pub crawl down The Bowery!

Learn about the Civil War Draft Riots and the Bowery B'hoys - the tough Irish youths that established their identity through fashion, slang, drink, drugs, and the sportin' life.

Go from saloon to dive bar and from the cultures of the 1850s to the city of 1977, bankrupt and pre-apocalyptic.

Listen to the stories about how street punks, fighting against the musical and social tastes of the disco decade, started to craft rock and roll songs about girls, partying, and being bored teenagers. But these punks played these songs louder, faster and drunkener than before. Visit the sites of CBGBs, the site of the Astor Place Riots and more.

ABOUT YOUR GUIDE: MATT LEVY 

It’s not just that Matt, Spread Love Tour's founder, is a native Brooklynite and hardcore New Yorker. It’s not just that he has been in the tourism industry for over twenty years, and knows New York. It’s not that he is a voracious reader, particularly of the food and drink milieu, and can tell you where the best _______ is at that given moment. It also has nothing to do with the fact that he is an avid cyclist, searching high and low for the best street eats, the most interesting panoramic views, and the tastiest cocktails.

It’s all of this and more. It’s because Matt loves this city, his city, and he loves it when, through his profession and his passion, he watches other people fall in love with it too.
