Itinerario
Questo tour a piedi di due ore del Greenwich Village inizia nel cuore del quartiere: Washington Square Park. Il tour offre uno sguardo approfondito sul passato ricco e stratificato della zona. Al Washington Square Park, scoprirai storie risalenti al 1600, tra cui il suo uso precoce come campo di vasai, la sua trasformazione in un terreno di parata e la sua evoluzione in un centro di attivismo, arte e ribellione. Con le foto storiche fornite ad ogni fermata, otterrai una comprensione più profonda di come questo iconico parco sia diventato la porta simbolica per Greenwich Village. Questo itinerario mette in evidenza solo alcune delle tante tappe affascinanti che incontrerete lungo il percorso.
Visita l'ex casa dell'iconico artista americano Edward Hopper. Scopri come il carattere unico del quartiere ha influenzato lo stile cupo e contemplativo di Hopper e come il suo tempo qui ha plasmato alcune delle immagini più durature dell'arte del XX secolo.
Entra nel drammatico passato del Jefferson Market Courthouse, un tempo sede di una prigione funzionante degli anni 1870. Scopri come questo splendido edificio gotico vittoriano, un tempo votato come uno dei più belli d'America, sia servito come tribunale femminile, abbia detenuto noti criminali e abbia avuto un ruolo sorprendente nella lotta di New York per la giustizia e i diritti delle donne.
Scopri la storia ispiratrice di uno dei poeti più impattanti e compassionevoli d'America e i suoi notevoli legami con la Statua della Libertà.
Viaggia indietro nell'estate cruciale del 1969 e scopri i potenti eventi che portarono alla rivolta di Stonewall. All'esterno dell'ormai iconica pensione Stonewall, esplorerai le tensioni, le incursioni e gli atti di resistenza che hanno innescato una svolta nella lotta per i diritti LGBTQ +. Ascolta le storie dei coraggiosi individui che hanno resistito all'oppressione e hanno contribuito a lanciare un movimento globale per l'uguaglianza e la visibilità.
Scopri la ricca eredità del Cherry Lane Theatre, il più antico teatro off-Broadway in attività a New York. Immerso in un angolo tranquillo del Greenwich Village, questo luogo intimo ha lanciato la carriera di attori leggendari, drammaturghi e musicisti. Ascolterai storie accattivanti delle prime esibizioni di star ormai iconiche e scoprirai come questo spazio storico è diventato un rifugio creativo per un lavoro audace e innovativo.
Rivivi il caso giudiziario storico che ha acceso un movimento di giustizia sociale in questo centro medico dal 1827.
Entra al Marie’s Crisis Café, un amato piano bar del Greenwich Village con un passato rivoluzionario. Molto prima che diventasse un luogo di ritrovo per gli amanti dello show tune, questo sito fu l'ultima dimora di Thomas Paine, autore di Common Sense e voce fondatrice della democrazia americana. Imparerai come questo bar senza pretese sia diventato un sorprendente collegamento tra la nascita di una nazione e la vivace vita culturale del Villaggio.
Mettiti alle porte del primo night club di New York integrato razzialmente mentre ascolti le storie sui pionieri che si sono esibiti in questo punto di riferimento storico nazionale.
Il tour si conclude sul sito dell'incendio della Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, ora designato National Historic Landmark. Qui, rifletterai sulla tragedia che ha causato 146 vittime nel 1911 e scoprirai come il coraggio e l'attivismo delle donne colpite hanno innescato riforme durature nelle leggi sul lavoro e contribuito ad alimentare il movimento per il suffragio femminile. Il loro coraggio continua a ispirare generazioni. Mentre questo itinerario evidenzia solo alcuni luoghi chiave, parte della gioia del tour sta nella scoperta, quindi abbiamo risparmiato molte tappe come sorpresa per il viaggio.

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.
