Greenwich Village has such an amazing history, continuing on to this day, that we can scarcely pack into this two-hour tour. Home to Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Jack Kerouac, Edgar Allen Poe, O’Henry, Allen Ginsburg, Marcel Duchamps, Joan Baez, Cary Grant, Herman Melville - the list goes on and on. This little working class backwater, once home to Irish and Italian immigrants, became the epicenter of American counter-culture in the 20th century and eventually spilled out into mainstream America. And of course, with all these characters, the stories are magnificent. In our tour, we’ll tell you as many as we can. See where Mae West was jailed in 1926 for violating public decency laws; the Stonewall Riot, where in 1969, the Gay Liberation began; where Poe first read the Raven; where New York’s first State Penitentiary stood, and how the city blasted an avenue through the middle of its quiet streets.
