Activity itinerary

West Village (Pass by)
From the apartment where John Lennon and Yoko Ono established the country of Nutopia, to the townhouse where mother of The Sex Pistols’ Sid Vicious lovingly administered his fatal overdose, this West Village walking tour sheds light on the artists, authors and activists who transformed the area into “America’s Left Bank.”
The Church of St. Luke in the Fields (Pass by)
Starting outside the Church of St. Luke in the Fields in Greenwich Village, you’ll wind your way through the West Village to the Jane Hotel where, in 1912, survivors of the Titanic gathered for a memorial. Along the way, you’ll pass several bars, pubs and speakeasies and learn how Greenwich Village had more places serving alcohol during prohibition than before or afterwards.
Cherry Lane Theatre (Pass by)
Take a bow at the oldest Off-Broadway venue that’s still kicking, the legendary Cherry Lane Theatre, where Samuel Beckett, T. S Eliot, and Tennessee Williams got their start
Grove Court (Pass by)
Discover Grove Court, where a painted leaf saved a woman’s life and inspired O. Henry to write a storey about it
Twin Peaks Building (Pass by)
I’ll show you often overlooked sites including Twin Peaks, one of the quirkiest houses in the Village, the Magnolia Bakery that was featured in Sex and the City and the Devil Wears Prada, and Julian Schnabel’s outrageous pink Palazzo Chupi.
Cobble Court (Pass by)
Stroll down Cobble Court and hear stories that you won’t easily forget.
White Horse Tavern (Pass by)
You’ll see the church where Timothy Leary infamously handed out LSD instead of communion wafers, and Whitehorse Tavern where poet Dylan Thomas drank himself to death. I’ll also point out the apartment building where the cast of Friends lived. Or, rather, the building where they would have lived if the show wasn’t filmed in California.
Magnolia Bakery (Pass by)
I’ll show you often overlooked sites including Twin Peaks, one of the quirkiest houses in the Village, the Magnolia Bakery that was featured in Sex and the City and the Devil Wears Prada, and Julian Schnabel’s outrageous pink Palazzo Chupi.
