For some, Jane Jacobs’ old neighborhood conjures up images of bohemians and beatniks, but dig deeper and you’ll find darker mysteries buried in the West Village. We’ll wind through these twisted alleys to explore a centuries-old cemetery, the “House of Death,” and the secret burial ground beneath Washington Square Park. Visit the restaurant where Aaron Burr mourns his lost daughter and the townhouse where Mark Twain still has a score to settle. All the history on this tour is 100% real. The ghosts? That’s up to you.
