Visite à pied des ordures et des rats à New York
Description
Le Garbage and Rats in NYC Walking Tour est une plongée unique dans les sujets sales : - comment la ville de New York est construite sur les déchets; - comment les rats se nourrissent de la consommation humaine; - et comment NYC a traité ces deux problèmes immondes et pathogènes depuis 1626. Nous en apprendrons davantage sur la biologie et les habitudes des rats, les systèmes d'élimination des ordures, les rats métaphoriques (c.-à-d. - les gens corrompus) et les histoires grossières mettant en vedette tout ce qui précède. C'est l'intersection de la science et de l'histoire à son meilleur! Le Guide est diplômé de la New York City Trash Academy, de la New York City Rat Academy, et membre du New York City Rat Pack, « une escouade d'élite de militants dévoués contre les rats ». Rats, ordures et histoire de New York sont ses passions ! S'il vous plaît noter : Pendant la visite, nous pouvons voir ou non des rats, mais tout le monde apprendra beaucoup sur la longue histoire de NYC avec des déchets et des rats!

Itinéraire
Nous commencerons à Wall Street et discuterons de son rôle en tant que décharge à Nieuw Amsterdam, ainsi que du marché officiel de l'achat et de la location de personnes africaines esclaves.
En remontant South Street, nous discuterons de l'histoire des ordures, des décharges, des rats et de l'ancien marché aux poissons de Fulton Street. Nous nous arrêterons également à l'ancien site du Sportsman's Hall, une fameuse « fosse à rats », pour parler des combats de rats.
Nous visiterons la place DeLury et parlerons de la grève des ordures de 1968, de John DeLury, et du Syndicat de l'assainissement. Ensuite, nous flânerons dans les allées historiques Ryder et Eden.
La visite se poursuit sur Ann Street, le site d'une attaque de rats tristement célèbre en 1979, dans Theatre Alley, et jusqu'au parc de l'hôtel de ville. En cours de route, nous plongerons dans plus de rat lore et de faits trash-y.

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!
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! They really are remarkable critters.
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!
