Next Stop: 

From the Highline to the Village


The Highline and West Village views.

See 1980’s street art around the corner from posh Sex and City hang outs, in the same hood where Bob Dylan defined a generation. Top Jazz clubs are down the block from New York’s top street performers; $26 hamburgers compete for appetites with $3 falafel sandwiches; and vintage clothing competes with new fashion. This tour will lead you from the High Line to the windy cobble stone streets of Greenwich Village; where 19th century row houses and warehouses became the places where Jazz, art, gay rights and culture thrived.
