The Best of Greenwich Village
Greenwich
Village has long been known for its tolerant and bohemian attitudes. Not only
has it been home to scores of famous artists and
writers, it also contains some of the city's most important domestic
architecture.
This tour focuses on historic Greenwich Village from its founding in the 17th
century through its role as a posh suburb in the 19th century to its eventual
fame in the 20th century as America’s “Left Bank.” Stops include:*
- Washington Square Park [based
on current construction, we will see as much of the park as possible]
- Judson Memorial Church
- The Row (including the former home of Edith
Wharton)
- New York University
- Washington Mews
- The Lockwood deForest house
- Church of the Ascension
- West 10th Street's row of artists' studios and
writers' homes
- Jefferson Marketplace Courthouse
- Gay Street
- The Northern Dispensary
- Sheridan Square, Christopher Park and the
Stonewall Inn
- Grove Court
- The Church of St. Luke in
the Fields
- The Cherry Lane Theatre
- Chumley's
- Edna St. Vincent Millay's narrow home
- St. Luke's Place
- Italian section of Bleecker Street
- Sites associated with Bob Dylan and the folk
scene (If you are particularly
interested in Dylan, let us know in advance, as it will help determine the
tour’s route.)
- In addition, the
tour is supplemented with historical drawings and photographs that
illustrate the how much Greenwich Village has—and has not—changed in
the last 200 years.
