活动介绍

A walking tour meets street theater in this immersive performance of New York language and slang. Set in the historically linguistic melting pot of the Lower East Side, this two hour interactive experience brings the slang, accents, and languages of NYC to life through a performing guide in character as "The Tour" — but all guests participate. •Break the ice with a small talk activity where chalk becomes the marker of your personal space. •Participate in a scavenger hunt for stickers printed with common words New Yorkers pronounce in a funny way •Find newspapers hidden in odd places as a delivery boy recounts in verse the impact media has on our everyday speech. •Dance like it's 1990 in a demonstration of hip hop moves that originated in NYC •Hail a ride from a multilingual Chinatown dispatcher...just be sure you know what street you're on. •Listen to "Nico Ramone" rant about the problems in his bohemian life as you try to guess the words he borrows from Yiddish.
