**Tour description:**
Everyone seems to be fascinated by the West Village, with its old buildings, irregular street pattern, varied nightlife, and fun shops, but what a cool and fascinating history it has! The story of the Village is filled with literary, theatrical and historic figures, beatnicks, political radicals and folkies, along with a strong independent spirit. The Village is where social movements and creative expression has truly had an impact on the world! Stops include Stonewalls (a national historic landmark and national monument), music clubs and theatre venues, the narrowest house in NYC, the last street in Manhattan to be mapped, the site of a prison and a country church from the early 1800's (still in use). You'll get lots of ideas for further exploration on your own.

**Restrooms before the Tour:** Near our meetup spot there are modern public restrooms inside Washington Square Park park (near Washington Square South) as well as food and coffee places on 8th Street and all the around the area. A good option if coming from 6th Avenue (A,C,D,E,F,M subways) is the Jefferson Market Public Library (near 10th Street and 6th Ave.), restrooms are downstairs.

We'll have a restroom break during the walk at Hudson River Park. Tour will end in the Meatpacking District convenient to 14th Street public transportation, along with The Little Island, Whitney Museum, the High LIne, Pier 57 food hall and Chelsea Market.
