NYC Walking Tours - New York City Pub Crawls
New York City Pub Crawls - Hell's Kitchen Pub Crawl
Join a group of fellow travelers and take a walk on the wild side through Manhattan’s infamous Hell’s Kitchen. Before the era of Rudy Giuliani, just beyond the lights of Broadway and Times Square lurked the neighborhood where gang leaders, playwrights, bootleggers and other notorious characters rubbed shoulders in the crime-ridden cauldron known as Hell’s Kitchen. Now diverse community of writers, artists, filmmakers, performers, professionals, and working class folks, Hell’s Kitchen still retains the working class character and traditions that make it one of New York City’s most colorful and happening neighborhoods.
Starting at a Hell’s Kitchen bar where famous playwrights mixed easily with gangsters and police, you will move into the heart of Hell’s Kitchen were the NYPD once feared to tread. Drink at the old Westies Gang headquarters, the scene of a string of murders including the broad daylight slaying of the head of the Westies Gang. Finally, end at a quintessential Hell’s Kitchen bar where the booths are held together with duct tape, the beer is cheap and plentiful, and the bar tenders serve free hot dogs along with their Hell’s Kitchen attitude.
Significant attractions and stories include:
• Times Square
• The Story of Hell’s Kitchen
• Caroline’s on Broadway
• Tin Pan Alley
• The Westies Gang and the story of Edward Cummiskey

At the start of the tour Sam declared that "by the second pub, I'm largely irrelevant." As I look around at the seven people who started tonight as strangers and who are now laughing and chatting, I can see what he means.

The Pub Crawl was a one-of-a-kind journey covering about a mile amidst the imbibing of cocktails in exciting, historic, and exclusive locales.
