Manhattan Highlights

Come explore the history of  Soho, Noho, East Village and little Italy with an expert guide. The Manhattan Street Art walk explores the counter culture that has influenced so many artists throughout history. You will discover the location of Keith Harings former Pop Shop and Jean-Michel Basquiat's studio, previously owned by Andy Warhol. Walk with us to see the Keith Haring wall and the 1st street art park where new murals pop up regularly. The journey takes us down the oldest street in Manhattan, known as the Bowery, to see where the former punk rock CBGB scene thrived in its day. And, to where the old Yipster cafe once stood, a place where the radical youth spoke out against the war and were known for street theater pranks. You will not be disappointed on this walk. There is so much art to see while we cover a large area of lower Manhattan.
