This is a walking tour of East Village, New York. We start our walk at Union Square (14th street/4th Ave) and we walk to Bleecker Street. I am joined by Dana Beal, long time cannabis activist and co-founder of the Yippies.
Dana gives us a tour of the original headquarters of the Yippie Times (Bleecker street) area and discusses historic aspects of the East Village.
