Highlights
Freewheel through the streets of Greenwich Village, following in the faded tracks of the numerous artists that lived here (Barbara Streisand, Bob Dylan, Edgar Allen Poe, Jimi Hendrix, John Coltrane, George Carlin and many, many more).
Solve clues to discover the places where poets and musicians lived and performed. See where Dylan Thomas had his last drink and where Barbara Streisand first debuted. Ready to roll?
See Washington Square Park, the epicenter of the hippie movement and the stage of the Beatnik Riot. Enjoy the musical aura that radiates from Electric Lady Circus, the recording studio Jimi Hendrix set up just before his death. Find yourself at The Bitter End, a venue that claims to be New York City’s oldest rock and roll club.
Each clue will lead you from one place to another by providing you with exact directions. As you solve the challenge, the secret story of each place is unlocked.
Itinerary
Lucille Lortel Theatre
10 minsAdmission Ticket Not IncludedThe Lucille Lortel Theatre is an off-Broadway playhouse at 121 Christopher Street in Manhattan's West Village. It was built in 1926 as a 590-seat movie theater called the New Hudson, later known as Hudson Playhouse. The interior is largely unchanged to this day. In the early 1950s, the site was converted to an off-Broadway theater as Theatre de Lys, opening on June 9, 1953, with a production of Maya, a play by Simon Gantillon starring Kay Medford, Vivian Matalon, and Susan Strasberg.1 Sheridan Square
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeSuze Rotolo lived in the penthouse of One Sheridan Square with her mother. Miki Isaacson, the ‘folk den mother’, occupied the tiny studio apartment on the floor below the Rotolo’s.Electric Lady Studios
10 minsAdmission Ticket Not IncludedElectric Lady Studios is a recording studio in Greenwich Village, New York City. It was commissioned by rock musician Jimi Hendrix in 1968 and designed by architect John Storyk and audio engineer Eddie Kramer by 1970.40 W 8th St
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe Bon Soir, owned by Ernie Sgroi Sr., was a small night club in New York's Greenwich Village. Comedians and singers like Phyllis Diller, Kaye Ballard, and Ethel Waters performed there. “Much of the Bon Soir's appeal came from its remote, forbidden feeling,” James Gavin wrote in Intimate Nights: The Golden Age of New York Cabaret. “A walk down thirty-one steps led to a square black room ...”Washington Square Park
10 minsAdmission Ticket Not IncludedWashington Square Park is a public park in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, New York City. One of the best known of New York City's public parks, it is an icon as well as a meeting place and center for cultural activity.85 W 3rd St
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeEdgar Allan Poe was an American writer, poet, editor, and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and of American literature as a whole, and he was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story.Cafe Wha?
10 minsAdmission Ticket Not IncludedIt was at the Cafe Wha? that young performers like Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen, Woody Allen, Lenny Bruce, Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor got early chances to hone their talents. Folk singers, artists, poets, beatniks and anarchists came to the club, and so did far greater numbers of tourists, eager to observe those exotic breeds. (The club’s odd name was a shortening of the word “what,” intended to convey incredulity.)158 Bleecker St
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe Village Gate was a nightclub at the corner of Thompson and Bleecker Streets in Greenwich Village, New York. Art D'Lugoff opened the club in 1958, on the ground floor and basement of 160 Bleecker Street. The large 1896 Chicago School structure by architect Ernest Flagg was known at the time as Mills House No. 1 and served as a flophouse for transient men. In its heyday, the Village Gate also included an upper-story performance space, known as the Top of the Gate.
