Overview

Walk the streets that launched Bob Dylan and defined a generation. This small-group Greenwich Village tour covers the folk clubs, hidden history, and iconic landmarks that shaped American music and culture — with three classic food tastings included. Fans of A Complete Unknown will recognize many of these locations from the film.

Over 20 stops in two hours at an easy pace, you'll visit the Bitter End, Cafe Wha?, the Gaslight Cafe, Stonewall Inn, the Friends building, Washington Square Park, and more. Your guide brings the neighborhood to life through stories, music, and a few great local bites from Village institutions that have been feeding New Yorkers for decades.

Tastings include a falafel sandwich from Mamoun's (NYC's oldest falafel shop), arancini from Faicco's Italian Specialties (open since 1900), and a mini cannoli from Rocco's Pastry.

No lectures. No big crowds. Just Greenwich Village the way it deserves to be experienced.
