Great storytelling about the Prohibition Era in New York City. Visits to three speakeasies and iconic bars. Premium cocktails served up by top mixologists. Make new friends from around the world.

Take a journey through the spirit trails of New York's underground watering holes. Walk with us as we retrace the immigrant progress toward the American Dream during Prohibition. We will guide you into one of New York's most iconic speakeasies and tell the tale of the period’s most notorious gangsters and infamous bootleggers.
