Greenwich Village is among Manhattan's most desirable and expensive residential neighborhoods. Its history, however, betrays its monied status. The Village, with its quiet, shaded streets, lined with lovely brick and brownstone townhouses, was once the incubating ground of artistic, social and political movements that have helped shape U.S. history. From the Beats to the Folk Movement, from workers' rights to gay rights, the Village has often been the center of New York and America's social movements.
Join Free Tours by Foot as we criss-cross this Manhattan neighborhood's legendary streets and explore the architecture, history, and culture that was and is Greenwich Village. This tour has it all - authors, poets, folk singers, rock stars, a mobster, a revolutionary and a U.S. president.
