For over 100 years historic Greenwich Village has been the mecca to the creative, the rebellious, the Beats, the musicians and Bohemian. Visit the West Village, which remains a creative artery for the downtown scene.
For over 100 years historic Greenwich Village has been the mecca to the creative, the rebellious, the Beats, the musicians and Bohemian. Starving artists finding affordable housing is long gone but the West Village remains a creative artery for the downtown scene.
Our Greenwich Village Rock Tour takes a look at the musicians and locales of the neighborhood that put the Village on map. The folk movement was huge in the 60's so there are many sites that refer to Bob Dylan. However, the history is so rich and the sites are plentiful.
We'll also discuss:
• Jimi Hendrix
• The Animals
• Bottom Line
• Gerde's Folk City
• Bitter End
• Woody Guthrie
• Cafe Wha
• Scrap Bar
• Gas Light
• CBGB'S
• Led Zeppelin
• Fillmore
• Ramones
• NY Dolls
After walking the streets of your favorite musicians and artists you'll want to grab a drink or a bite to eat at many of the great bars and restaurants in Greenwich Village. Rock Junket will even let you know where Dylan, Hendrix and Kerouac would grab a coffee.
