Historian & Writer Brings Greenwich Past to Life! - Andrew brought Greenwich Village to life on our tour! A historian (and writer with a wonderful blog) shared the early years prior to the revolution - writers, leaders, who inspired the freedom we enjoy today…through the war years…freedom for all races, religions, genders and identies…to the early days of rock where legends. As one passes through Washington Park on the way for the best pizza in NYC, knowing where Eleanor Rosevelt and Amelia Earhart lived and worked is an inspiration!
