Getting bohemianised in Greenwich Village, New York City
It was the birthplace of the 60s counter-culture movement, the former neighbourhood of Bob Dylan and more recently Julia Roberts, and the cradle of the LGBT movement – welcome to Greenwich Village!
It’s not a great first impression to rock up late for a tour, but navigating New York City’s extensive subway system can be pretty challenging at times. Well that was my excuse, and I’m sticking to it!
But thoughts of my tardiness recede into the back recesses of my mind not long after meeting my group and tour guide, Renee, and beginning my two-hour free tour (with a tip expected at the end, of course) around Greenwich Village, a neighbourhood on the west side of Lower Manhattan, New York City.
But this isn’t just any old neighbourhood.
