David Amramโ€™s East Village Ramble

La Sala de Pepe y Foto Espacio 73 Avenue C, New York, United States

NOW INDOORS: Due to the forecast of rain and thunder on Sunday, we have taken the decision to have David Amram give a talk instead of a tour about the East Village. The event will take place in the heart of the East Village at La Sala de Pepe and offers the chance to chat with David in relaxed surroundings. A virtual East Village Ramble.

Itโ€™s no exaggeration to say that David Amram has been at the center of the Downtown arts scene for well over a half-century. He knows everyone, and heโ€™s a walking, talking encyclopedia.
