Greenwich Village, Meatpacking and High Line NYC Tour

Greenwich Village has been the artistic center of New York for a century, which is reason enough to visit. It's also one of the most architecturally intact 19th century districts you can find here. It is off the grid, with winding streets that ignore the street plan of Manhattan. Tree lined blocks abound with shops, restaurants and small parks. The history here is filled with noteworthy figures and movements that have, literally, shaped the country. The northern edge of "The Village", the meatpacking district, has transformed itself as an entirely different place of fashion and food, where the latest trends adorn shop windows and where high end restaurants occupy century old storefronts. We end the tour ascending the above ground High Line, arguably the most significant new park in the city since Central Park. It is a miraculous transformation of landscaping and design which has entirely transformed 25 blocks of the the far west side of Manhattan , and is simply a 'must see' when visiting New York.
