You can argue all you want about Punk’s birthplace, but there’s no question that it was defined in NYC. The Velvet Underground and Blondie and CBGBs on the Lower East Side in the 70s and 80s?…That’s as New York as the subway or a hot dog with mustard. The Ramones, The New York Dolls, Patti Smith, Television and the legacy of Punk is ingrained in the fabric of New York City in ways you might never have realized. So get ready to jump into the pit and shout along.
