ITALIAN GREENWICH VILLAGE
Saturday, March 3, 2012 at 1 PM
The South Village, the district south of Washington Square Park, is what most people picture when they think of Greenwich Village. Today much of the charm of the South Village comes from its many original Italian businesses, some started over 100 years ago and now run by the third and fourth generations.
The tour meets at the Washington Square Arch, Fifth Ave., 1 block south of 8th St. It costs $18 per person ($3 discount for seniors 62+) and no reservations are needed.
GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL: "CROSSROADS OF A MILLION PRIVATE LIVES"
Sunday, March 11, 2012 at 1 PM
A stately, efficient, Beaux Arts version of a classical form, Grand Central is
an excellent representation of the era in which it was conceived. Its story
is dramatic — of rivalry, creativity, and
a borrowed aesthetic transformed into something new.
The tour meets inside GCT entrance at E 42nd St. under the Park Ave. viaduct. It costs $18 per person ($3 discount for seniors 62+) and no reservations are needed.
