New York City: Guided Gangsters and Ghosts Walking Tour

About this experience

About New York City: Guided Gangsters and Ghosts Walking Tour The Guided Gangsters and Ghosts Walking Tour is a two-hour historian-led walk through some of Manhattan's most storied and shadowy neighbourhoods, covering The Five Points, Chinatown, Little Italy, and The West Village. The route traces the geography of organised crime, unsolved mysteries, and the figures who shaped the city's underground history across more than a century. The guide is a historian who draws on documented accounts of gang activity, notorious crime scenes, and reported hauntings to build a picture of the city that sits beneath its modern surface. Starting at 24 Mulberry Street, the walk moves through blocks that once served as the backdrop for some of New York's most consequential criminal enterprises. What to expect The tour covers haunted locations and former crime scenes across four distinct neighbourhoods, each with its own chapter in New York's criminal and paranormal folklore. The Five Points, once considered one of the most dangerous slums in the Western world, features prominently, as does the layered history of Chinatown and Little Italy, where rival gang territories overlapped for decades. The West Village adds a different register, with ghost lore and unsolved cases woven into its quieter streets. Tickets cover the full two-hour guided walk, historian commentary throughout, and visits to haunted sites and old crime scenes. Gratuities are optional and not included. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, and the starting point is 24 Mulberry Street in Lower Manhattan. New York City Tours and getting there The walk begins in the heart of Lower Manhattan, within easy reach of Canal Street and the surrounding subway connections serving the A, C, E, J, N, Q, R, W, and Z lines.
