Edgar Allan Poe’s Gaslight Greenwich Village
Start Time 2:00pm“Poe belongs to New York. His connections to the city span the length of his writing career. He was a literatus, not a loner, and New York has long been the home of the literati. Poe belonged in the publishing capital of America.”
- Susan Amper, Poe, Toast of Gotham
This 90-minute literary and historical walking tour steps into the life of Edgar Allan Poe’s Greenwich Village of the 1840s. Visit the site of three of his former homes, trace a path into the past to gaslight-era Washington Square Park, learn of his contemporary rivals and admirers, and see where he wrote some of his most famous works. You will discover the places that inspired Poe, find out where he read “The Raven” for the first time in public, and even see where he was once treated for a head cold! Interweaving some of his most famous tales with Greenwich Village’s macabre secret histories, this tour is guaranteed to delight fans of Poe’s literary grotesques.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a literary/historical tour, not a ghost tour.
