Hidden Gems in Greenwich Village

We enjoyed all of the hidden gems that we were introduced to. They are not "hidden" but a tourist would be hard pressed to stumble on them. Chip was informative and very good. We had 6 people in our tour. A smaller group is nice because you can take a little more time at each stop. I would recommend this tour.
