LizaBanks and Nicky Tours Present: A Greenwich Village Holiday Tour
About this Event
It's the niche NYC history collab you've been waiting to come crashing through the chimney: tour guides LizaBanks Campagna and Nicky Shapiro co-leading a special holiday tour of Greenwich Village.
Discover the humble beginnings of NYC's most exclusive neighborhood, stroll by the old haunts of the city's most legendary performers, writers, and activists, and trace the origins of the neighborhood as it transformed from a sleepy farming village into the bustling home of the West Village Girlie. Combining past history and present culture, we'll break down how the Village epitomizes the constant change which defines New York City.
The tour also features a special holiday bonus: the group will meet outside the 2nd Ave subway stop and take a limited edition Holiday Nostalgia ride on a vintage subway car to West 4th Street, where we'll begin our walking tour.
Tour begins on First Avenue and Houston Street in the East Village and ends near the Church of St. Luke in the Fields in Greenwich Village. Capacity limited to 30 guests. 2.5 hours total. Tour proceeds rain or shine.
