THE Village Tour
HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: Washington Square Arch, the Stonewall Inn, the High Line and more!
What do Bob Dylan, Ernest Hemingway, The Cosby Show and Carrie Bradshaw all have in common? They all have ties to Manhattan's West Village - the home to NYU's main campus and the neighborhood that inspired the Bohemian and Beat Generations. The West Village Running Tour will take you along quiet, tree-lined streets that seem almost out of place in The Big Apple. Theater, comedy, fine dining and possibly a celebrity sighting - The West Village Running Tour is capped with a breathtaking jaunt along the High Line walking park.
