Rejseplan
Denne to-timers vandretur i Greenwich Village begynder i hjertet af kvarteret - Washington Square Park. Turen tilbyder et indgående kig på områdets rige og lagdelt fortid. På Washington Square Park, vil du opdage historier tilbage til 1600-tallet, herunder dens tidlige brug som en potterens felt, dens forvandling til en parade, og dens udvikling til et center for aktivisme, kunst og oprør. Med historiske billeder, der leveres ved hvert stop, får du en dybere forståelse for, hvordan denne ikoniske park blev den symbolske port til Greenwich Village. Denne rute fremhæver blot nogle få af de mange fascinerende stop, du vil støde på undervejs.
Besøg det tidligere hjem for den ikoniske amerikanske kunstner Edward Hopper. Lær, hvordan nabolagets unikke karakter påvirkede Hoppers skarpe, kontemplative stil, og hvordan hans tid her formede nogle af de mest vedvarende billeder af 20. århundredes kunst.
Gå ind i den dramatiske fortid af Jefferson Market Courthouse, der engang var hjemsted for et fungerende fængsel fra 1870'erne. Oplev, hvordan denne fantastiske viktorianske gotiske bygning - en gang valgt som en af de smukkeste i Amerika - tjente som en kvinders domstol, holdt berygtede kriminelle, og spillede en overraskende rolle i New Yorks kamp for retfærdighed og kvinders rettigheder.
Lær om den inspirerende historie om en af Amerikas mest indflydelsesrige og medfølende digtere og hendes bemærkelsesværdige bånd til Frihedsgudinden.
Rejs tilbage til den afgørende sommer i 1969 og afslør de magtfulde begivenheder, der førte til Stonewall-opstanden. Stående uden for det nu ikoniske Stonewall Inn, vil du udforske spændingerne, raids og modstandshandlinger, der antændte et vendepunkt i kampen for LGBTQ + rettigheder. Hør historierne om de modige individer, der stod op mod undertrykkelse og hjalp med at lancere en global bevægelse for lighed og synlighed.
Oplev den rige arv af Cherry Lane Theatre, den ældste kontinuerligt opererende off-Broadway teater i New York City. Beliggende i et roligt hjørne af Greenwich Village, har dette intime sted lanceret karrierer af legendariske skuespillere, dramatikere og musikere. Du vil høre fængslende historier om tidlige forestillinger af nu ikoniske stjerner og lære, hvordan dette historiske rum blev et kreativt tilflugtssted for modigt, banebrydende arbejde.
Genoplive den historiske retssag, der antændte en social retfærdighedsbevægelse på dette medicinske center fra 1827.
Gå ind i Marie's Crisis Café, en elsket Greenwich Village klaverbar med en revolutionær fortid. Langt før det blev et mødested for showtune elskere, dette sted var det sidste hjem for Thomas Paine, forfatter af Common Sense og en grundlæggende stemme for amerikansk demokrati. Du vil lære, hvordan denne uforudsete bar blev en overraskende forbindelse mellem fødslen af en nation og det livlige kulturelle liv i landsbyen.
Stå ved døren til den første racemæssigt integrerede natklub i New York, mens du lytter til historier om de pionerer, der optrådte på dette nationale historiske landemærke.
Turen afsluttes på stedet for Triangle Shirtwaist Factory brand, nu udpeget som et nationalt historisk vartegn. Her vil du reflektere over den tragedie, der kostede 146 liv i 1911 - og lære, hvordan de kvinders mod og aktivisme påvirkede sparkede varige reformer i arbejdsretten og hjalp med at fremme kvinders stemmeret. Deres mod fortsætter med at inspirere generationer. Mens denne rute kun fremhæver nogle få centrale steder, ligger en del af turens glæde i opdagelse - så vi har gemt mange stop som en overraskelse for rejsen.

We booked this tour as part of our staycation. Having lived in and around NY for much of my life, I booked this tour thinking it would largely be a learning experience for my teens. Boy was I wrong! I learned so much ... we all did! Andrew's extensive knowledge and clear passion for NYC and its history made our tour of Greenwich Village an incredible experience for the whole family. We'll definitely book more tours with Andrew in the future!
Such a kind review. Thank you. The feeling is mutual. It was such a pleasure to show your family the Village. I was so impressed with your sons. I look forward to seeing you on another tour in the future! Thanks again! I appreciate your support.
This tour was the highlight of 10 days in New York and absolutely worth every penny. Not only was the tour well-researched, interesting and diverse in terms of subjects and time periods, but it was thoughtful. I found myself very moved by the things we learned about Emma Lazarus and the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, and continue to tell others what I learned from this tour months later. I will for years I bet. I also loved how our guide was excited and sociable — he asked everyone what they might be interested in learning and pointed out great places to go eat afterwards. This guy really was the best person to take us around the Village and I recommend this tour 1000x over to anyone who might consider it.
This is an incredibly kind note. I sincerely appreciate it. I'm so glad you had an enjoyable experience. I hope to see you on your next visit for another tour. Thank you for writing such a thoughtful review. I wish you the best in your travels.
It was really really amazing tour with a lot of interesting stories. Thank to amazing guide Andrew I felt like I belong there. As someone from this industry I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone who comes to NYC. Just splendid.
Thank you so much, Bojan. It was so much fun to take you on the tour. I appreciate your passion for music and history. Thank you for your support and I look forward to seeing you on your next visit!
Very informative Andrew was great and very generous about the tour time and depth. Great location to learn and discover its history
Thank you very much, Omer. I am so glad you enjoyed the tour and your time in the United States. It was such a fun afternoon to spend with you, your friend, and the group. I hope to see you again on for another tour on your next visit!
This was a very informative tour of Greenwich Village and the people and movements passing through. As we were the only people on the tour, Andrew tailored it to our interests, and had some fascinating insights on life in the Village. We learnt about the music here, the politics and the forces of change, covering a lot of ground. Thank you Andrew!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for joining me on the Greenwich Village tour. I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed diving into the neighborhood’s rich history, music, and politics — and that I could tailor the experience to your interests. Since it was one of our quieter early morning tours, it gave us the opportunity to take our time, explore more deeply, and even stop for a cappuccino at the iconic Café Reggio. I always appreciate when the pace allows for those more personalized, meaningful moments. Wishing you all the best in your travels, and thank you again for your kind words and support. I hope to see you on another tour the next time you’re in the city! Warm regards, Andrew
This was an outstanding tour. Our guide, Andrew Kirschner, of Epic Walking Tours, was enthusiastic and friendly, and he offered us personalized attention (granted, we were a very small group on that day). Mr. Kirschner is highly educated about the history and culture of the area, and was fully invested in educating us about it. He also brought historical photos of the area and of some of its more celebrated residents. On top of all that, he offered me and my friend a second, later, tour as well, which we did join. We thoroughly enjoyed both tours, and it was clear that the larger group that participated in the second tour was happy to have been there, as well. If be glad to take another tour with Mr. Kirschner when I visit New York City in the future.
Thank you for the incredibly thoughtful and kind review, Michael. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with you and your friend in the Village and Flatiron. I hope to see you on another tour soon!
The tour was great! Andrew was very knowledgeable and open with answering all our questions. He was very attentive to making sure we were comfortable and as cool as can be. The stories he told were sometimes surprising (because I was unfamiliar with the story) and endearing (because I was familiar with the story). I learned a lot and was very entertained!
Incredibly kind, Pam. Such a pleasure. It was great fun to show you the Village. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I hope to see you both on another tour in the future!
Andrew was great. He was accommodating and interesting. We really enjoyed our time learning about Greenwich Village.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Jennifer. I sincerely appreciate the feedback! I hope to see you on another tour in the future!
We had a great time on the Greenwich Village tour and learned a lot even though we live in NYC. Andrew is an entertaining story teller who weaves all sorts of fascinating details into his presentations. He also uses an iPad for visuals that really complement his work. Strongly recommend booking with him!
Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! It means a lot to hear that even as locals, you found the tour engaging and informative. I’m glad the visuals and details resonated with you. I sincerely appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you on another tour soon!
This tour was so great!!! As a New Yorker, it was absolutely fascinating to learn about the rich history and locations that I have blithely been walking past for decades. Andrew is an amazing storyteller, and enhances his well-researched tour with period photos. I was riveted the entire time.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this thoughtful and kind feedback. I sincerely appreciate it. It was so much fun to take your group on the tour. I appreciate your passion for history and hope to see you again on another tour.
