Walks

Award winning author, Cezar Del Valle has had many years of experience developing and leading walking tours of New York’s theatrical and cultural districts.

Mindful of the budgetary constraints facing most non-profits, Del Valle is willing to discuss fees.

Explore the “Crossroads of the World” to discover some of the lesser known sites along  the “Great White Way.”

Stroll Second Avenue as Del Valle relates tales of Adler, Picon, Thomashefsky and other greats of the Yiddish stage.

Bowery:
The colorful, salty history of the Bowery, once alive with Yiddish, Italian and Chinese  theatres, vaudeville houses, dime museums, concert saloons and early film venues.

A former hub of theatrical activity, downtown Brooklyn is currently enjoying a rebirth with  the development of the new  BAM Cultural District.

Coney Island:
Del Valle invites you to Brooklyn’s “Sodom by the Sea” where Gary Grant walked on stilts, Harpo Marx made his stage debut and where the music halls ran early & late.
