Well this is... dark. There's a new tour company in town and they want to show you the sites. You know, like where our 5th President James Monroe spent his final days, where artists Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring died, where Heath Ledger last lived, and where mobster "Crazy Joe" Gallo ate his last plate of pasta. Yep, the Dead Apple Tour company wants to show you the darker side of town, and they wanna do it in a 1960 Cadillac Superior Crown Royale hearse.
On your two-hour tour you'll also learn the dark secrets of iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building, discover the deadly secrets of "The Hangman’s Elm," hear the story of the Butcher of Tompkins Park and an 1849 riot involving actors from rival theaters in Astor Place. If you're left wanting more, one tour guide keeps up a Twitter with "death fun facts," like, "More people are killed each year by coconuts than sharks. Approximately 150 people are killed each year by coconuts."
Tours cost 45 bucks a pop... so goth kids, start saving up your Hot Topic paychecks now—it's probably better than your parents taking you to an Addams Family/American Idiot double header on Broadway.
