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. We’ll explore the catalysts behind Prohibition and focus on the women of the Gilded Age, and the movement that gave rise to an oil king. To round off our journey, we’ll take you to one of New York's most unique bars where we’ll discuss the sudden demise of Prohibition.
