From Forest Hills: Birthplace of Punk to Rock Rock Rockaway Beach

“The Ramones all originate from Forest Hills and kids who grew up there either became musicians, degenerates or dentists. The Ramones are a little of each.”
—Tommy Ramone, first press release

Join us for a tour exploring the land of musicians, degenerates and dentists, otherwise known as Forest Hills, Queens. See the birthplace of the Ramones and explore the neighborhood that started it all. Hear firsthand accounts of the group’s upbringing and years on the road from Ramones accomplice and tour manager Monte Melnick. The indomitable Levy’s Unique New York will help guide the way.

The tour will culminate in a concert at the Low Tide Bar at the Beach 97th concession in Rockaway Beach with Sick Feeling and Unstoppable Death Machines, and begins with a Hey! Ho! Let’s Go!: Ramones and the Birth of Punk exhibition tour. Whether you join us at the Queens Museum, grab a ticket for the bus, or meet us at the beach, this is a day to celebrate how Queens shaped the Ramones and how the Ramones shaped Queens.
