It’s hard to find another NYC neighborhood with a more colorful history than Greenwich Village, home to artists, writers, and eccentrics.

We’ll begin at scenic Washington Square Park. Explore the glamorous side streets where the rich and famous live. As we walk, you’ll hear stories of folk heroes like Bob Dylan and Edgar Allen Poe and villains like John Wilkes Booth.

You can stand in solidarity where the gay rights movement began at Stonewall Inn, or sip a coffee made from the oldest espresso machine in America. Don’t forget to snap a photo of the famous “Friends” street corner and the al fresco venue from “Mozart In The Jungle.”

From the most talented musician in the park to the most mouthwatering slice of pizza in the city, so much of authentic American culture is born on these streets. Join us as we reveal the secrets of this tiny village in a big city.

Greenwich Village Walking History

Nathan brought history vividly to life with his enthusiasm and fantastic knowledge of the area. If you love the legends of stage, screen and the history of the counter culture of New York, this is a must do.
