- McSorley’s Old Ale House - Kick off with a cheese plate and a beer at McSorley’s, the oldest continuously operating bar in New York. Abe Lincoln once drank here, and the place is filled with curios and artifacts, as nothing has been removed from the walls since 1910.
- Taqueria Diana - Known for their in-house tortillas, possibly the best in the city. It may not catch your eye, but the food is exceptional and the staff is incredibly friendly.
- Triangle Shirtwaist Factory - Visit the site of one of New York City’s most tragic events, where 146 garment workers perished in a fire in 1911. This event significantly influenced labor practices in the United States and is a story every American should know.
- Washington Square Park - Unlike most tours that rush through, we take time to relax and explore the fascinating history of one of America’s most significant city parks.
- Mamoun’s Falafel - The first falafel spot in NYC, opened in 1971 by a Syrian man named Mamoun. Now run by his sons, this charming spot continues to serve amazing falafel to comedians, musicians, and students all day and late into the night.
- Winston Churchill Square - A charming little park often overlooked by visitors and locals alike. We’ll pause here briefly to enjoy the atmosphere.
- Taco Mahal - A Latin/Indian fusion eatery owned by a woman with Puerto Rican and Indian heritage, staffed by a largely Nepali team. This spot represents the best of New York: innovation, tradition, and dedication. The food is unique, vibrant, and delicious, accompanied by great music.
- Stonewall National Monument - Whether stopping for a drink or enjoying the vibe at Christopher Park, the Stonewall is a must-see in the West Village. Now a national monument, it was the site of the pivotal 1969 uprising that energized the modern gay rights movement. One of many culturally significant spots we’ll visit in the West Village.
- Two Boots Pizza West Village - Not your typical New York slice, but Two Boots offers a lively and colorful atmosphere with excellent food. It occupies a space that once housed a lesbian bar that didn’t serve men, but today Two Boots welcomes everyone. Interesting things happen here.
- Janie’s Life Changing Baked Goods - Pie-crust cookies. A charming spot.
- Bleecker Street - Filled with bars, boutiques, and beautiful people. It’s not uncommon to spot a world-famous face here.
- Marie’s Crisis - The night concludes at Marie’s Crisis Cafe, a delightful underground bar where you can sing along with a live piano player to your favorite show tunes. It’s a fantastic visit, even if Broadway isn’t your usual interest.
