Death in New York

Based on the book Death in New York (The History Press) by K. Krombie, the author’s tour explores the history and current affairs of death in New York City, including the first cemeteries in Manhattan, forgotten potter’s fields, capital punishment, death in wartime, the Office of Chief Medical Examiner, science and sanitation, religious burial, and the origins of modern embalming. This outdoor tour of Lower Manhattan is approximately 2.5 hours long.

The Psychiatric History of New York

The Psychiatric History of New York follows the journey of psychiatry from Central Europe to America, and the psychoanalytic explosion that occurred in New York City. This tour of the Upper East Side focuses on psychiatric history from the madhouses of the metropolis to breakthroughs in biological psychiatry; from hospitalization to deinstitutionalization; and from Freud’s psychoanalysis to the Sackler family’s beginnings in “valiumania.”
