Overview

Discover the legendary nightlife of Greenwich Village on this lively 2-hour walking tour through one of New York City’s most iconic entertainment districts. For decades, the Village has been the place where musicians, comedians, actors, and artists launched careers and created unforgettable nights.

As you explore the neighborhood with your expert guide, you’ll walk in the footsteps of legendary performers like Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, Chris Rock, Jimi Hendrix, Lenny Bruce, and Idina Menzel, all of whom spent time performing in this creative hub.

Along the way, you’ll visit famous venues such as Cafe Wha?, Comedy Cellar, Stonewall Inn, The Public Theater, and Blue Note Jazz Club. You’ll hear the stories behind the performances that made these venues legendary, while also getting insider tips on the best places to grab a drink, catch live music, see cutting-edge comedy, or enjoy a late-night bite.
