The Yiddish Walk of Fame: A Walking Tour

Join community historian Elissa Sampson to explore the roots of American theater and popular culture through a tour of historic sites along Second Avenue. Our stops will include the Yiddish Arts Theatre, Cafe Royale, the Yiddish Rialto Starwalk, and the Community Synagogue. The total length of the tour will be about half a mile.
