Join HDC, Christopher Street Tours, and the West Village BID on this immersive tour of Six to Celebrate neighborhood, the West Village. Winding through the off-the-grid streets, we’ll explore the area’s evolution from an 18th-century rural settlement to a bohemian enclave and, ultimately, one of the city’s most architecturally and culturally significant districts. We’ll admire an extraordinary range of architecture, from charming Federal-style and Greek Revival rowhouses to early tenements, artist lofts, and Landmarked institutions, while uncovering the forces that shaped the neighborhood’s distinctive character.
Explore the West Village through its enduring small businesses and its pivotal role in LGBTQIA+ history. This tour highlights long standing legacy businesses, landmark sites of queer liberation, and explores the moments where these two stories intersect to reveal the neighborhood’s rich and layered heritage. Perfect for history lovers, architecture enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to understand the cultural heartbeat of NYC.
