My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. "Bobby Pinn" was very knowledgeable about the subject and the area. We would recommend this tour to anyone interested in rock history, especially as it pertains to the New York area.

This was a very enjoyable way to spend some time - we walked through East Village and learned some cool info about rock 'n roll bands. Lot of history and fun as well. The tour guide, Bobby, had a good sense of humor and knew what he was talking about. I loved the visual ads offered with the record album covers. Highly recommend if you have a love of rock music.

Sensational times! The guide knew his stuff! It was super interesting and definitely gave me a new appreciate of New York. People take for granted all of the amazing music (as well as other) that has gone down on our very streets. I would most definitely recommend it!

Lots of walk, talk, and rock

We had a great time on Bobby Pinn's East Village Rock Junket tour - which included the Joe Strummer "The Future is Unwritten" mural, Charlie Parker's home, Joey Ramone's former apartment, Madonna's former apartment, and the former sites of CBGBs and the Filmore. As Canadians from the province of Manitoba, it was a special delight to see Handsome Dick Manitoba's bar in the East Village (called "Manitoba's"). Bobby knows his music and loves to talk; he'll remind you of the punk older brother you had who always had more records and knew more about them than you. His knowledge and taste are impeccable, and he even made me believe that I should give Iggy's Avenue B album another listen. Wow! At the end of the tour, Bobby gives you a brochure with "things to do" recommendations, including having an egg cream from the Gem (on Second Avenue at St. Mark's Place) and riding the Cyclone at Coney Island, which turned out to be two other big highlights of our trip. We went on the tour on a very hot day. If you do, bring some water and even a snack, so you can stand for two hours without falling over. Looking forward to taking another one of Bobby's tours on the next trip. - Kenton and Caroline, Winnipeg, Canada

If you do ONE thing in NYC, make sure it's this!!!

I am not gonna list all sites visited etc on this tour as previous excellent reviews already have! What I am going to stress to you though is, you simply must check this tour out!! Everything I know and love about music stems from this area! The bands, their lifestyle, their music and their influence on us even to this day! What Bobby does is bring to life amazing stories about these bands, their lifestyles, where they played, drank, shot their album cover etc. Chuck in some other East Village stories (including the ones you never got to hear about!!!) And what you have is a thrilling two hours! He speaks with such knowledge, passion and his natural enthusiasm for this subject is clear to see! Backed up with fantastic visuals and some classic insight, it was enough to make you feel like you lived the experiences right there in the village! Bobby we cannot thank you enough for such a great afternoon, it was definitely one of our best days whilst in NYC! Legend! Julie, Jake & Heather.

Superb

A great tour ! I would have struggled to find many of these landmarks on my own without the help of the brilliant and enthusiastic Bobby Pinn. The East Village is an area I knew little about, but I will return to explore this area again on future trips. Of course it's a slightly bitter sweet tour as many of the buildings were not designated Landmarks and have changed and not for the better. All the more reason to take this tour ! Ps Try the Egg Creams, they are incredibly refreshing.

Really enjoyed it!

Ben: It was good, full stop. Jackie: We both really enjoyed it, and having the background to many of the streets and venues added to tour and our visit to New York. As punk/rock fans we both got a lot out of the tour. It's just a shame CBGB's wasn't there to see in its glory.

Bobby Pinn, with his detailed knowledge of the subject, along with his stash of visuals and anecdotes, presents the rock history of East Village with a focus and perspective that could not be delivered in any other way. As the character of this remarkable neighborhood slips away in the face of encroaching 'progress', anyone who has a passion for the loud, obnoxious, and culturally important music that was born here, needs to do this tour.

Lower East Side Rock Walk!!
Sat, Oct 8, 05   11:00 AM JoeVarley Male 40-49 Local Family Without Children
My wife and I enjoyed this walk very much. We live in the area and are very interested in Rock n Roll and it's history in our neighborhood. We learned alot about various rock stars past homes and were variuos concert hall and clubs were located. As a big Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin fan, I enjoyed hearing the sites that were used for alubum covers and video shoots. The tour guide was excellent and very knowledeable on this topic. He even threw in some history on other sites in the parks along the way. We enjoyed ourselves very much !!
