Greenwich Village Rainbow Bagel Tour

Go with Ben Bagel as we explore one of the most eclectic and interesting neighborhoods of New York City – Greenwich Village! Originally a small village during the time when the Dutch established New Amsterdam, we will see how it transformed itself to an artistic center of bohemian life, the times of the beatniks and the counter-culture movement of the 1960’s. Now it is a high end neighborhood retaining some of its art and music history along with the area where the gay life struggle for acceptance began.
