Greenwich Village is our favorite neighborhood in New York for several reasons. Greenwich Village is a historic part of New York City (1640's to present day) so there are many styles of architecture and tons of NYC history. There are great places to sample the foods of New York’s many ethnic groups. This is the best of New York City. Greenwich Village has been rich and poor over the years, so that the styles and class distinctions of New York City are all reflected. This walking tour is a little over 2 hours but combined with our Times Square tour, about 4 hours of food and fun. So join us, and see New York like a local. Let your Manhattan Walking Tour guide bring Greenwich Village to life.
