Greenwich Village NYC Variety Walking Tour

This walking tour explores the musicians (e.g., Buddy Holly, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Barbra Streisand, Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga, and Taylor Swift), artists (e.g., Edward Hopper, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney), writers (e.g., Mark Twain, Edith Wharton), actors, muckrakers, comedians (e.g., Jerry Seinfeld), rebels, architects, entrepreneurs, and innovators who lived and worked in the Village. If you enjoy culture and the arts, beautiful architecture, and fascinating stories, this tour is for you! I spent several months curating this tour by reading documents at the New-York Historical Society and New York Public Library. I also read newspaper accounts dating back to the 17th century and found unique photos to bring the people and events to life. I extracted the stories that I believe you will find most interesting. I am a licensed NYC tour guide with a star rating from the Department of Consumer Affairs for ranking in the top tier of guides for my knowledge of NYC's history.
