Watson Adventures’ Secrets of the East Village Scavenger Hunt April 14, 2012

Join Watson Adventures on a unique scavenger hunt for adults!

Uncover the radical roots of this racy neighborhood as you visit the haunts of Charlie Parker, Washington Irving, Andy Warhol, the Velvet Underground, Led Zeppelin, Abraham Lincoln, Lenny Bruce, Peter Stuyvesant, Carrie Bradshaw, W.H. Auden, Joey Ramone, Madonna and even Leon Trotsky. Along the way, you’ll learn the answers to such questions as: What revolutionary ingredient did Peter Cooper’s wife add to his dessert? What’s left of the Filmore East? And what startling sight stirred the sawdust at McSorley’s in 1970? Highlights include TV and movie locations, St. Mark’s Church, Tompkins Square Park, Indian restaurant row, hurly-burly St. Mark’s Place, the last remnant of the Fillmore East, the scene of a notorious riot over Macbeth, and a mini Ukraine. Price: $22.50.
