Overview

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.

Meeting points

We meet on the SW corner of E. 9th Street and Avenue C - by the entrance door to the community garden. The nearest storefront address is 137 Avenue C. Avenue C is also known as Loisaida Avenue. This meeting point is in downtown Manhattan - in the Alphabet City enclave in the East Village.

End point

Open in Google Maps

The tour ends in the heart of Greenwich Village near Washington Square Park.

Fantastic experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Eddie is extremely knowledgeable and such a lovely, funny and quick witted guy. He gave us so many facts, used images to help you visualise the cases and made it all such a fun and interesting experience. I’d recommend doing the tour on a day where it isn’t cold as you need to concentrate to follow the story lines and there’s a lot of standing in one spot whilst you are outside the crime scene buildings! Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes true crime!!

Great deep dive

Published on Oct, 2024

We had a fantastic time on this tour! Two lawyers in our group, both of us loved it. The guide was very thorough in explaining all of the murders, and he had lots of tid bits from clearly extensive research as well as first hand accounts from people he spoke with who lived in the area and knew the people involved in the crimes. Highly recommend!

Gritty crime tour NYC review

Published on Jul, 2024

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!!

Excellent first hand account in alphabet city

Great Afternoon with Eddie

Published on May, 2024

We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon with Eddie! He is a wealth of knowledge and knows the small details about some of the coolest cases in the city. Highly recommend!
