Edgar Allen Poe Greenwich Village Walking Tour

During the 1960s folk music scene, artists such as Barbara Streisand, Simon and Garfunkel, Joan Baez, The Velvet Underground, Jimi Hendrix and Nina Simone all began their careers in the local nightclubs, theaters, and coffeehouses of Greenwich Village. For well over a century, 'The Village' has nurtured struggling artists, writers and musicians from Edgar Allan Poe to the Beat Generation to Bob Dylan. These days no penniless artists could afford to live in the beautiful brownstones along the tree-lined street, but look carefully and you can still find traces of the old 'bohemia'.
