Free Greenwich Village Walking Tour

Greenwich Village is among Manhattan's most desirable and expensive residential neighboorhoods.  It's history, however, betrays it's monied status.  The Village, with it's quiet, shaded streets, lined with lovely brick and brownstone townhouses, was once the incubating ground of artistic, social and political movements that have helped shape US history.  From the Beats to the Folk Movement, from workers' rights to gay rights, the Village has often been the center of New York and America's social movements.
