Description

Rock, Punk and Glam! Three genres of music that helped form the history of a rock culture. New York City's East Village helped introduce new music, rock 'n' roll fashion and a way of life to the world. Now you can check out the sites and stories of The Ramones, New York Dolls, CBGB's, Andy Warhol, The Velvet Underground, The Fillmore East, Led Zeppelin, Iggy Pop and more.

Find out where they played, lived, shopped and shot album covers, plus soak up the rich musical history of this historic Lower East Side neighborhood. Although many of these landmarks have changed, the memories continue to inspire up and coming New York City bands.

Rock 'n' roll historian Bobby Pinn, or one of our other rock 'n' roll tourguides, leads this 2 hour East Village rock walk...
We'll explore the neighborhood's rock history, focusing on sites and artists including:
  • CBGB's and The Fillmore East
  • Joey Ramone's NYC pad
  • St. Marks Hotel
  • Trash and Vaudeville
  • Iggy Pop's former residence
  • Andy Warhol
  • The Velvet Underground
  • Madonna's first NYC apartment and more...
Rock Junket is New York City's Original Rock 'n' Roll Walking Tour, and gets you up close and personal with the East Village rock/punk scene.
It's all rock on a New York City walk!
