Walk in NYC # 10, discovering Greenwich Village, is a 3 miles self-guided tour that will take you about 2 hours of walking and taking photos, more if you visit the different galleries along the way. The streets are quite and pretty, sometimes lined with little restaurants or boutiques, it’s a pleasure to meander through them.
