guests say
"A revelatory morning in the Village! Nick knew just where to go. As we walked, he unspooled a fascinating narrative about a super cool neighborhood, from its beginnings to the present day. Hidden stories from behind the scenes full of stuff we never would have learned on our own. Highly recommended. (P.S. ask Nick where to go to eat after, he has great recs.)"
