This was an excellent walking tour that I did when I was in New York City. The Lower East Side of Manhattan is incredibly diverse as this tour takes you into delis, into back alleys that were former speakeasies, and into a Jewish temple that is now a place for artists to jam and put up their art work. There was even an acid jazz band playing when I went in to the temple. The narrator was a NYC native and the music that accompanied the walking tour was great.
