Let me lead you through New York City’s most picturesque and storied neighborhood: Greenwich Village. With winding tree-lined streets, stately brownstones and famous parks, it’s arguably the most beautiful neighborhood in Manhattan. It’s also one of the city’s oldest, with almost 400 years of history. Every important artistic, cultural and political movement of the 20th Century had a home here- from prohibition era Speakeasy’s, to the Beat writers of the 1950’s, to the folk and psychedelic rock of the 1960’s. Let me show you where the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement was born at the Stonewall riots while Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix performed on Macdougal St. We’ll talk history, architecture, culture and have a few laughs along the way. Come and spend some time with a real New Yorker- I’ll show you my favorite spots, and give you the real scoop on what it’s like to live in this glittering global city.
