A Gaga Guide to the Lower East Side is a tour and a show in one. You will be both thoroughly entertained and amply informed with a Gagcentric spin. The show part of the event involves your tour guide taking on the persona of an inspiring actor/former reality show contestant spilling the tea on what really happened in their reality show stint and more. The performance was so real that one woman asked for the name of the reality show because she wanted to look it up, and we almost forgot a few times ourselves that it was all an act.

The tour covers many of the places where Lady Gaga performed as well as her former apartment. Unfortunately, a lot of the places have either been torn down or have been turned into something else. However, luckily at the beginning of the tour, you are handily supplied with a QR Code to download a collection of photos that show what many of the locations you will visit used to look like. You will also visit other locations not related to Lady Gaga on the tour including the building that used to be the apartment where George and Ira Gershwin lived and a building inexplicably topped with a statue of Vladimir Lenin as well as the former locations of several Yiddish theatres.

There aren't any rest stops nor do you actually enter any of the locations you visit on the tour. Thus, you should keep in mind your stamina for walking and the weather conditions when planning to attend a tour. At only about an hour and a half long, it is fairly short for a walking tour though. Also, the tour does not run if there is an extreme weather event. It will only run at all through October 15 on weekends. If you love Lady Gaga or you just want to attend a really unique and fun tour, you are going to want to take this tour while you still have time.

And that's our view. For more information or to book a tour, visit spincyclenyc.com/index.php/theater/673-gaga-guide.
