Have Cell Phone, Can Tour Lower East Side

Sure, you've clocked in your at various restaurants and bars on the Lower East Side, but do you know anything about it? Talking Street offers free walking tour audios via your own cell phone, and the first one is of the Lower East Side: Birthplace of Dreams. Everyone's favorite booming TV father, Jerry Stiller, narrates. Check out the route and listen to a sample. [Via JP Reardon and Textually]

Meanwhile, Lockhart Steele is either busy planning his own rival walking tour or trying to pitch Talking Street to do a Below 14th tour.

  • Are you sure 34355 of this?!?

  • Jen

    Martin Scorsese would have done the walking tour audio, but he talks too fast.

  • Bo Diddly

    Yeah, Jerry did the gig as LES resident Ramon Ramierez is still in lockdown at Rikers Island and could not do it.

  • That's kind of funny that Jerry Stiller is the one narrating about the Lower East Side since he lives just a few houses down from me on the good old untrendy Upper West Side.

  • that is such a clever and practical use of technology. Hopefully, someone will set up something like that down here.
