A unique tour of Greenwich Village in music

  • Greenwich Village is the temple of New York bohemianism. This former hippie district in the 1960s and 1970s is now home to dynamic young executives with high purchasing power and students of NYU University! You will find there the key places of the birth of the movement for the equal rights of gays, as well as prestigious clubs, landmarks of legendary musicians such as Bob Dylan, John Baez and Janis Joplin.
  • Although Jazz first developed in Harlem, Greenwich quickly took over on the jazz music scene. Greenwich today prides itself on institutions such as Village Vanguard or Smalls. Your guide will give you a musical taste as you listen to iconic Greenwich musical pieces.
  • Series fans will not be left out. Our guides are expert on all the anecdotes of Friends and Sex and the City in Greenwich Village. Carrie Bradshaw won’t be far either.

SoHo and its cast iron buildings typical of New York

  • Laboratory of urban evolution, SoHo is a nugget with a rich history. Alongside its fashion boutiques, your French-speaking guide will reveal many curiosities: architecture, artists’ studios and even old brothels. Without forgetting the imprint of Yoko Ono, the wife of John Lennon, the former Beatles. You will discover art galleries in unique spaces in New York.
  • The calm of the cobbled streets of SoHo allows you to stroll and raise your head in the sky in this district which has become the favorite setting for influencers on Instagram. The openwork sidewalks hint at the industrial past of one of New York’s trendiest neighborhoods. Perhaps we will meet a former owner of a clandestine bar who will tell you about celebrities who are a little too bent on drinking?

Discover the secrets of Little Italy

  • At the bend of a fresco, the panel « Welcome to Little Italy » welcomes you. The restaurants follow one another, but some places hide their history well. Between mafia settling and tortellini, you have to keep an eye out to see the regulars in the neighborhood. Real prociutto lovers go to some genuine institutional grocery stores. And know it: there is no more proud than a New Yorker of Italian origin!
  • We’ll walk past the flagship streets of Little Italy and share our top spots so you know where to eat. Andiamo!

Immersion in Chinatown for a trip to Asia

In the program: covered markets, Buddhist temple, stroll in these high streets in color far from the skyscrapers of Midtown. Your guide makes you discover the most typical alleys of Chinatown. Do you know the anecdotes of his first secret organizations? Our guides are full of them!
  • You will learn how the Chinese and more broadly Asian community is essential for New York City. The Chinese culinary specialties of the district will hold no secrets for you.
