Village Walking Tour

The image map worked well in 1999, but it's more than 17 years later, and at this point, just scroll down to see the text-only links. Don't forget to check out the Off Map places too! And the Coming Soon section.

You can also explore the links as Text-Only.

Please note: A site visitor pointed out that the number for Gerde's Folk City, #9, is in the wrong place. It should be east of Washington Square Park near Mercer Street. It will soon be corrected..

Got a Dylan place you'd like to see added to the tour? Or a photo of a Dylan place that you would like to submit? A correction that you would like me to fix? Please submit these things to violetvernet@gmail.com. Site credit will be given if desired!
