Overview
Join Kenny Bollwerk — social media creator and founder of viral “Rat Tok” — for a one-of-a-kind walking tour that shines a light on the city’s most notorious (and furry) residents: the rats.
As featured in national media and followed by hundreds of thousands online, Kenny leads guests through NYC's backstreets, alleyways, and trash-lined curbs to explore the quirky, grimy, and oddly fascinating world of NYC's rodent population.
This is part urban adventure, part comedy show, and part public service announcement — all rolled into a 90-minute experience that’s as unforgettable as the city itself.

Tips on how NYC is fighting its rodent problem — and what still needs to be done

The Chinatown Rat Tour™, led by Rat Daddy, is an immersive walking experience that explores the hidden world of urban wildlife, restaurant infrastructure, trash ecosystems, and the environmental factors that shape rat activity in dense city environments. As you walk through alleyways, side streets, and high-traffic corridors, you’ll learn how food waste, building design, sanitation schedules, and human behavior all influence where rats live and thrive.
