The walking tour route I am sharing here takes you from downtown Manhattan, through mid-town to Central Park and the Upper East Side, taking in many NYC icons along the way. There are other routes that I like in Manhattan and other neighbourhoods which are great to explore – but I wanted to start with something that was doable in one day. I walked ...
Start in the East Village – Tompkins Square Park
The East Village is a pretty cool neighbourhood in Manhattan. It was an upscale area of New York, built when the city expanded in the early 1800s. Then in the late 1800s, its population swelled with immigrants, at one point being known as ‘Little Germany’. In the 1950s and 60s, the area absorbed some of the beatnik creativity of neighbouring Greenwich Village. Allen Ginsberg, W. H. Auden, and Norman Mailer all moved to the area in 1951–1953. Like a lot of New York, the area became run down in...
Greenwich Village – Washington Square Park
From Tompkins Square Park, head west toward Greenwich Village, the centre of which is Washington Square Park. The distance is approximately 0.8 miles, so should take 17-18 minutes. NB. I don’t remember the exact route I took when I walked this segment of the route – so feel free to walk in this general direction, as I did. In the map that is lower down this article, I’ve used the specific route that Google suggests. Greenwich Village was the bohemian capital of New York in the 1950s and 60s,...
Union Square Park
From Washington Square Park, walk up University Place towards Union Square. This route takes through the heart of the NYU campus. The distance is 0.4 miles and should take approximately 8-9 minutes. Union Square Park has a big chess scene, so you could watch some games here – or play if you fancy your chances! There’s also a statue of George Washington here, and a farmer’s market on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
