 From there we will walk and sketch our way around the "shady" streets of the West Village to draw famous and infamous spots along the way including the Edna St Vincent Millet House (narrowest house in NYC), the Cherry Lane Theater and Westbeth where there is a gallery open to the public.  

Join us for an interesting stroll through a beautiful park of Old New York.
