Overview
A walking tour meets street theater in this immersive performance of New York language and slang. Set in the historically linguistic melting pot of the Lower East Side, this two hour exploration of words and accents is led by a guide in a jumpsuit known as “The Tour”—but all guests participate. Together everyone explores through group activities the origins of local slang and the distinctive New York accent. More importantly, we also communicate across the city’s diverse cultures to see how they form a new one.
