Boroughs of the Dead Presents Poe Death Day Tours This Weekend

On October 7th, the anniversary of Poe's death, Boroughs of the Dead presents Edgar Allan Poe In Greenwich Village, a two-hour literary walking tour that steps into the Greenwich Village of the 1840s, where Poe lived and worked at the height of his fame.

Guests will visit the site of three of Poe's former homes, learn of his contemporary rivals and admirers, and see where he wrote some of his most famous stories and poems. We'll also discuss Poe's works of non-fiction such as The Literati of New York City and Doings of Gotham, a stunning pen-portrait of antebellum New York that touches on everything from Poe's opinions of our city's architecture to the sensational news items of the day, including the murder trial of Polly Bodine, the "Witch of Staten Island."

Interweaving some of Poe's most famous tales with Greenwich Village's macabre secret histories as we delve into the nature of Poe's relationship with New York, this tour is an absolute must for any Poe fan in New York City. This tour runs one weekend only, the weekend of October 7th, to commemorate the anniversary of the author's death in 1849.
