Wonderful Town – A Walking Tour with Jamie Bernstein
Washington Square Arch at Fifth Avenue & Washington Square North NY, United StatesWrites Jamie Bernstein: “Come along!" booms the tour guide in Wonderful Town's opening number, “Christopher Street.” This 1953 Broadway show – book and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green and score by my dad, Leonard Bernstein – is a love letter to the dizzy, bohemian good old days of Greenwich Village, as seen through the adventures of two sisters from Ohio. All these years later, I'm inviting you to “come along!” as I retrace some of the Village spots that appear in the show, plus a few additional points of interest.

Wild Women of The Village: Paint, Poetry, Clay and Camera, walking tour
Washington Square Arch at Fifth Avenue & Washington Square North NY, United StatesBehind every talented artist in Greenwich Village, there is… A powerful, talented and liberated Village woman! From Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney opening her studio in a former stable to a mysterious Dada poet, artist and Baroness inventing (and getting arrested for) “wearable art,” and from Mabel Dodge’s wild all-night salons to the first exhibitions of revolutionary paintings by Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell and Helen Frankenthaler, the Village and its environs would not be what it is today without women artists – and writers and photographers.
