Description

Join your New York Uncle, a lifetime New Yorker, and licensed guide who has spent decades living, working, and collecting stories in the West Village. As a lifelong New Yorker, West Village resident, 9/11 first responder, performer, writer and storyteller, I was born to lead a tour through the neighborhood I love. Enjoy an intimate 90-minute walking tour through Manhattan's most charming neighborhood. Discover the charm, the history, the stories, and the beauty of my neighborhood and experience why I love it so much. Hear stories about the Bohemian neighborhood that has been the home to the odd, the eclectic, and the artist since the Dutch planted a flag in New Amsterdam. We start at a spot that is personal to myself and the community. Pass by St. Lukes Place, The Cherry Lane Theater, historic townhouses, and many more historical sites. Enjoy a personal, hands-on experience with a real West Village character and get to see the historical and charming sights of the neighborhood. This is not a scripted tour led by a company guide. It's a personal walk through the West Village with a someone who has called New York City home his entire life.
