Overview of your New york city tour:

Let me take you on a walking tour to explore the fascinating secrets and rich history of Greenwich Village, New York City's most intriguing neighborhood. Together we'll discover cemeteries hidden in plain sight and hear the true history behind stories of ghosts in Washington Square Park. We'll follow in the footsteps of rock legends Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix at Café Wha, where they began their careers, and stop by the Gaslight Cafe, made famous by poets in the Beat generation. At the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, I'll tell the tale of the tragic fire that led to changes in labor laws. Visiting remnants of the past, we'll see the 1811 plan that transformed Manhattan from rural fields to a modern metropolis. At the site of his prohibition-era speakeasy, we'll recount the life of infamous mayor Jimmy Walker. We'll pass by The Stonewall Inn where a riot in 1969 began the LGBTQ rights movement. Finally, we'll stand where founding father Thomas Paine died alone and friendless. Distance: 2 miles / 3 km
