We’ll give you a quick overview of what to expect on the tour, then get you up to speed on the history of Washington Square Park and its famous arch. From there, we’ll spend the next two and a half hours exploring the neighborhood.

Highlights include the sometimes grisly history of Washington Square, the Picasso hiding in plain sight, the clubs that launched the careers of many famous musicians and comedians, two of New York’s smallest pieces of property, the unlikely birthplace of a social movement, and the former home of what may have been New York’s most colorful mayor (which is saying something!)
