Discover Downtown New York Free Tour

The East Village, Greenwich Village, and SoHo are must-see destinations on any trip to New York!! Downtown is the place to see authentic, beautiful, gritty, real everyday New York and New Yorkers in action -- especially in Washington Square Park. You'll hear some history and wild stories about New York culture, comedy, food, music, art, architecture, skyscrapers, wealth, fashion, diversity, innovation, and movie locations. These are the neighborhoods where much of today's culture and counterculture were born. I'm delighted to offer recommendations that go beyond these neighborhoods, too, including Little Italy & Chinatown. We’ll meet up centrally and conveniently at Astor Place on the East side. We’ll walk about two miles in two hours hitting all the iconic stops and - by intent - we end right next to Eileen's Cheesecake in NoLiTa!
