You'll traipse alongside a local guide for a look at its once hopping WWII Red Light District, located in Chinatown. There, you'll hear stories about the neighborhood's former "boogie houses," and get an inside look at the Hotel Street Bar District, which even today is a hotbed of drunken fun. Adding to the theme, you'll visit Old Ironside Tattoo, where the iconic American tattoo artist Sailor Jerry used to ink Navy sailors in the mid-20th century. Maybe you can even get a tat yourself.
