Unique walk in an iconic neighbourhood. The sights would not have made such an impression with the intriguing insight.

Really cool, Jesse shows you places you wouldn't know how much history they have, like for example Club 82 that nowadays looks like a regular abandoned place!

Highly recommended if you are interested in the theme of music/creation of punk. Jesse has a very good background and left no questions open.

I definetely recommend this experience if you're interested in music, arts or even if you're just curious about NYC's history. Jesse is passionate and charismatic, the storytelling was great and allowed me to see West Village from a new perspective.
