Müll und Ratten in New York
Beschreibung
Die Garbage and Rats in NYC Walking Tour ist ein einzigartiger Tauchgang in schmutzige Themen : - wie New York City auf Müll gebaut wird; - wie Ratten vom menschlichen Verzehr gedeihen; - und wie NYC seit 1626 mit diesen beiden schmutzigen, krankmachenden Problemen umgeht. Wir werden etwas über Rattenbiologie und -gewohnheiten, Müllentsorgungssysteme, metaphorische Ratten (d.h. korrupte Menschen) und grobe Geschichten über all das erfahren. Das ist die Schnittstelle von Wissenschaft und Geschichte vom Feinsten! Der Fortgeschrittener ist Absolvent der New York City Trash Academy, der New York City Rat Academy und Mitglied des New York City Rat Pack, "einer Elitetruppe engagierter Anti-Ratten-Aktivisten". Ratten, Müll und New York City Geschichte sind ihre Leidenschaften! Bitte beachten Sie : Während der Tour können wir Ratten sehen oder nicht, aber jeder wird viel über die lange Geschichte von NYC mit Müll und Ratten lernen!

Reiseverlauf
Wir beginnen an der Wall Street und diskutieren ihre Rolle als Mülldeponie im Nieuw Amsterdam sowie den offiziellen Markt für den Kauf und die Miete von versklavten afrikanischen Menschen.
Während wir die South Street hinaufgehen, werden wir die Geschichte von Müll, Deponien, Ratten und dem ehemaligen Fulton Street Fish Market diskutieren. Wir machen auch Halt an der ehemaligen Sportsman's Hall, einer berüchtigten "Rattengrube", um über Rattenkämpfe zu sprechen.
Wir besuchen den DeLury Square und sprechen über den Müllstreik von 1968, John DeLury, und die Sanitärgewerkschaft. Dann schlendern wir die historischen Ryder und Eden Alleys entlang.
Die Tour führt weiter die Ann Street hinauf, den Ort eines berüchtigten Rattenangriffs 1979, in die Theatre Alley und zum City Hall Park. Unterwegs werden wir in mehr Rattengeschichte und müllige Fakten eintauchen.

Tour guide Suzanne’s expertise, sense of humor and teaching skills made “Rats and Garbage of NYC” an exceptional experience. I now know the functional difference between rat whiskers and the whiskers of cats. My new view of rats? Just spell it backwards!
Fun! Interesting! Mildly horrifying!
LOL! This is a great way to sum it up - thank you.
Suzanne was so knowledgeable and friendly! She had a great amount of information about NYC that even extended beyond the tour! Saw rats even on a rainy day!
Thank you! It was quite the adventure with the weather.
The tour was absolutely perfect our guide had so much knowledge about the surrounding area and we loved every second of it. Plus we got to see a lot of rats! The history about the surrounding area is something we would never have even thought about and we all had a blast!
Thank you so much! I am so happy to hear that you had such a good time! You guys were great!
This garbage tour was a highlight of our four-day visit to NYC! Yes it focuses on rats and garbage (gross) but much of the tour is also devoted to the history of Manhattan and touches on many issues that are relevant today (i.e., immigration, public health, city politics from the 1600s until the present). Suzanne is very knowledgeable and animated when discussing rats and the history of sanitation in NY. This was such a fun, informative, and unique way to spend an afternoon off the beaten path in lower Manhattan. Even my two teenagers who are bored by most things found it interesting, which says something. Highly recommend!!
Thank you so much - I love hearing how much everyone enjoyed it! I am blushing!
So so soooo much fun! Very informative and would 100% recommend : )
Thank you! I love that you had a great time!
This was an awesome tour and great experience! Suzanne was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for your kind response, we were late for the subway! I learned about the history of garbage and rats from the streets near Wall Street and the Brooklyn Bridge, and I could feel the existence of rats in my daily life. It was also a great pleasure to get a glimpse of one of the city's current rat control measures and see rats! My guide's rat bag, Katyusha, was cute!
Thank you! I am so glad you were able to come, even a little bit late! Having pest control experts is always extra fun for me. I am so glad you enjoyed it, too.
This was great; the guide made it very interesting, with thoughtful reflections on the city's history and the management of leftovers, and some extra trivia-winning knowledge :)
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
What a wonderful tour! Suzanne is very knowledgeable and provided a lot of interesting information regarding NYC, rats and garbage! Enjoyed this tour very much and highly recommend! The tour was just the right amount of time. There were places to sit when needed as she spoke about the history and provided information. We were lucky enough to catch some rats towards the end of the tour. Loved this tour so much!
Thank you so much, and I am so glad you enjoyed the tour so much. Your questions were fantastic along the way - it was great to meet you!
