A Tip of the Hat on 14th Street
LuLu LoLo as the “Gentleman of 14th Street†attired in top hat, white tie, and tails will stroll up and down 14th Street enacting the once popular male ritual of the 19th and early 20th centuries of “Tipping One’s Hat†as an act of nonverbal greeting, respect, and a gesture of chivalry towards women. Doffing her top hat LuLu will acknowledge the presence of the multitude of passersby on 14th Street either with the ritual silent gesture or by adding a greeting “Hello†or “Have a Good Day.â€
Saturday, October 1 from 1-3pm. Tuesday, October 4 from 9-11am. Saturday, October 8 from 1-3pm.
From 14th Street and Broadway to Seventh Avenue and back again.
