About this experience
Greenwich Village is a district with an amazing destiny. It has come a long way from farmlands to an enclave of creative people. For many years, it has been inhabited by artists, writers, musicians, and activists. They have created an atmosphere of freedom and cultural diversity here. I will share the history of the neighborhood and show its most interesting places: houses, cafes, alleys, and even an antique gas lantern.
What to expect
During a 2.5-hour walk in Greenwich Village you will:
- See the Washington Square Arch, located at the beginning of the legendary Fifth Avenue
- Appreciate the most eclectic building in the area - the Jefferson Market Library
- Visit a cafe frequented by many famous people
- Examine the city's last Victorian gas lantern
- Step into the pharmacy visited by Mark Twain and Roosevelt for medicines
- Unveil the secrets of charming secluded courtyards and alleys
- See the houses where Brodsky, Mark Twain, Edgar Allan Poe, and the characters from the TV show 'Friends' lived
And much more!
