Edgar Allan Poe and His Ghostly Friends of the East Village 7 PM
This tour is designed to entertain the entire family, young and old!
We will go in search of Edgar Allan Poe's ghostly friends such as Peter Stuyvesant, Washington Irving, and Harry Houdini in the East Village.
Meeting Place: In front of Il Buco Restaurant, 47 Bond Street, between Lafayette Street and Bowery. The cross street is the Bowery.
Our tour will start at IL Buco restaurant where the widowed Edgar Allan Poe romanced his wifeâ's nurse Mrs. Shew with a love poem, The Bells. Poe is the father of the supernatural and detective stories in America.
Our next scary stop is the former law school of Columbia University where you may see a young Theodore Roosevelt jogging on his way to his classes. Every day he'd kiss wife goodbye from their new marital home on 57th Street and 5th Avenue and jog his way down to law school.
At the Merchant House Museum we'll hear about the tragic romances of the Treadwell sisters. No one was good enough to marry the Treadwell daughters!
At the Astor library we'll hear about the greatest love story of them all – misers and their money such as John Jacob Astor. We will give a spin at the Alamo sculpture. If you and love one can move it by yourselves, it is said that you are destined to get married.
Next, we recount a different love story, a love of horse racing which kept August Belmont - NYC’s subway builder - active as a ghost and his very special bar car.
We'll go in search of romantic erudition at the Cooper Union where Emma Goldman can be seen with a whip, punishing John Most for betraying her boyfriend, Alexander Berman.
At the bridal home of Nicholas Fish and his bride Elizabeth Stuyvesant we hope to catch a glimpse of Peter Stuyvesant, New York’s oldest ghost. According to eye witnesses in the 1930, Stuyvesant was a regular ghostly apparition and during the minister's sermon he'd appear with his girlfriend.
We will end the tour at McSorley's Ale house where you'll hear about Harry Houdini the ghost and Harry Houdini the Ghost buster.
In case you don't see spirits, you can fill yourself up with spirits!
