Heroes & Villains Lower Manhattan Walking Tour

Bad actors had as much to do with shaping New York City as the acclaimed heroes – but even those heroes had skeletons in their closets. The Reynolds Pamphlet, anyone? Liam’s Heroes & Villains Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan, uncovers stories hidden beneath the ones appearing in all of the history books.
