Tour a piedi di rifiuti e ratti a New York
Descrizione
Il tour a piedi di Garbage and Rats in NYC è un tuffo unico in soggetti sporchi: - come New York City è costruita sulla spazzatura; - come i ratti prosperano con il consumo umano; - e come New York ha affrontato entrambi questi luridi problemi che causano malattie dal 1626. Impareremo a conoscere la biologia e le abitudini dei ratti, i sistemi di smaltimento dei rifiuti, i ratti metaforici (cioè le persone corrotte) e le storie grossolane che presentano tutto quanto sopra. Questo è l'incrocio tra scienza e storia al suo meglio! La Guida è un laureato della New York City Trash Academy, la New York City Rat Academy, e un membro del New York City Rat Pack, "una squadra d'élite di devoti attivisti anti-ratti". Ratti, rifiuti e la storia di New York City sono le sue passioni! Nota bene: durante il tour potremmo vedere o meno dei ratti, ma tutti impareranno molto sulla lunga storia di New York con rifiuti e ratti!

Itinerario
Inizieremo da Wall Street e discuteremo del suo ruolo di discarica di rifiuti a Nieuw Amsterdam, nonché del mercato ufficiale per l'acquisto e l'affitto di africani schiavizzati.
Mentre camminiamo su South Street, discuteremo della storia della spazzatura, della discarica, dei ratti e dell'ex Fulton Street Fish Market. Ci fermeremo anche all'ex sito di Sportsman's Hall, una famigerata "fossa per topi", per parlare di combattimenti tra topi.
Visiteremo DeLury Square e parleremo dello sciopero della spazzatura del 1968, di John DeLury e del sindacato dei servizi igienici. Poi passeggeremo lungo i vicoli storici Ryder e Eden.
Il tour continua su Ann Street, il luogo di un famigerato attacco di topi nel 1979, nel Theatre Alley e al City Hall Park. Lungo la strada, ci immergeremo in altre tradizioni sui topi e fatti spazzatura.

We had a lovely time. We heard interesting stories about the rats and garbage in the city and we really loved the streets where the tour took place. The guide’s enthousiasm and knowledge made the experience amazing.
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!
