Soak up the romance and bohemian ambiance of the fabled hangouts of literary and musical legends.
It's a rare neighbourhood that can boast having been home to scores of world-famous writers, artists, musicians and politicians. On the popular West Village pub crawl, you'll be at once awed, inspired, edified and entertained as you hoist a few at the very same establishments where Eugene O'Neill, Edward Hopper, Jack Kerouac, Lenny Bruce, Allen Ginsberg, the Clancy Brothers and many other hip luminaries sought refuge and hatched their ideas.
Who knows, you just might meet an up-and-coming prodigy yourself as the Village still reigns as a hotbed of creativity. At the very least, enjoy a fun, sociable, genially guided evening with great people and complementary libations, steeped in the lore of this historic district. You will visit 3 different pubs and get 1 free drink at each venue while you learn about the historical bars and the neighbourhoods in which they are located.
