Greenwich Village: In the Footsteps of Writers
Many writers and other creative people have called Greenwich Village home. On this tour, you'll meander through charming Village streets and see where some famous writers lived. Learn how the Village developed and why it has always appealed to artists and writers.
Highlights include:
