Description

Hey everyone, James Scully here. This Saturday, December 16th, is the  188th anniversary of the Great Fire of 1835. It burned the entire financial district in New York City to the ground. The fire was so big it could be seen from Philadelphia, 90 miles away.


I’m doing two walking tours, one at 12PM and one at 4PM on the anniversary  in conjunction with the audio fiction soap opera set in 1835 NYC I've developed called Burning Gotham — http://burninggotham.com/. Burning Gotham was a 2022 Tribeca Film Festival audio selection. 


Join us as we explore lower Manhattan and the notable sights and scandals of 1830s New York, with a close look at 1835 and how a single year forever changed New York City in big ways.


Included here are links where you can buy tickets to both — https://linktr.ee/thewallbreakers


I hope to see you there!
