WHAT: The Green Boroughs Walking Tour of the East Village and Lower East Side will show you the newest, coolest, greenest retail stores, restaurants, green affordable apartment buildings, community gardens, and other places that are green and sustainable in New York City. We will start our tour at Birdbath Bakery, 223 First Avenue near East 13th Street at 1 pm. This bakery not only uses organic and locally grown ingredients in its products but it was completely constructed from sustainable and recycled materials. For example, the insulation under the counter is made from recycled denim, the paint is non-toxic milk paint, and the floor is made from reclaimed cork. Another stop on the tour is the 6BC Botanical Garden. It is one of many wonderful community gardens operated by volunteers in the East Village. We will also see an example of green affordable housing, visit fantastic green retail stores, and learn some history along the way. You don't want to miss this tour!
