Greenwich Village & St. Marks – Encantador e Intrigante
The Village, as we call it in New York has an exciting and revolutionary past. The area was originally a rural outpost of the city, evidenced by its brick townhouses and low-rises, tiny green parks and hidden courtyards, and narrow, tree-lined streets. Its picturesque tree-lined streets still resonate today, as a space for civil activism, artistic innovation, outrageous parties, and rainbow flags that promote the gay revolution. Jazz clubs and Off-Broadway Theaters are hidden amid the brownstones and New York University buildings.
The neighborhood echoes with literary, beat-poet and music history; it’s where Paul Simon, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez began their careers in the 1960s. In the 1800s, Henry James, Mark Twain, Walt Whitman and Edgar Allen Poe graced its streets. Jimi Hendrix, Andy Warhol, Basquiat, Sarah Jessica Parker and many more stars were born here, too.
If you have time after the tour, stop by Washington Square Park for a game of chess and unparalleled people-watching around the historic fountain in the shadow of the arch, which is frequently used in films and series.
