Enjoy the charm and beauty of landmark townhouses, private gardens and renovated Victorian homes in Greenwich Village.

This is a neighborhood unlike the rest of New York, with its crooked streets, small Federal and Greek Revival townhouses, its neighborhood bars and restaurants, and its avant-garde ambiance. 

After the tour, you will enjoy a coffee reception at a landmark 1845 townhouse that has been renovated in the spirit of originality and daring.  Wander the three-story atrium and the open air garden while you sip your coffee and partake of refreshments.

A lovely private square, in the London fashion, Gramercy is New York's most important private park, surrounded by elegant town homes. On this tour you will be privileged to visit two private clubs, both registered National Historic Landmarks.

One of these clubs was founded in 1888 as a club for actors, writers and performing artists, and was designed by the famous Stanford White.  Visit the three floors of this stately townhouse, as the curator of the Club discusses its private collection of paintings, photographs and theatrical memorabilia. 

The other club was founded by a group of distinguished patrons of the arts--collectors such as Henry Frick and J. Pierpont Morgan.  Formerly the home of New York Governor Tilden, the facade of the Mansion is in high Victorian Gothic style.

You will be greeted by the club President who will speak with you about the rich history of the building and the Club.  You'll get an insider's glimpse, behind the silver screen, as he talks about the filming of Martin Scorsese's AGE OF INNOCENCE, at the National Arts Club

Luncheon or a cocktail reception can be arranged in the elegant Member's Dining Room--45 people maximum..
