I am Andrea Kropman, Uruguayan by birth and currently residing in New York. I studied Social Communication in Uruguay, and in Spain I worked for 15 years as Coordinator of Digital Communication. In 2010, I started with the project "Jane's Walks" in Madrid, an international initiative that pays tribute to Jane Jacobs. In recent years I alternated my work as a communicator with the design of tours of the cities I lived in: Madrid, Barcelona and London. Upon arriving in NYC, I became an Official Tourism Guide. You will find me guiding tours of various walking tour agencies and you can check the quality of my work through the opinions of other people who enjoyed my tours. As an inhabitant and migrant from different cities, I have a social and global vision that will provide you with daily information and reveal unknown data.
We will travel to see the bohemian neighborhood of New York, the tumultuous 20's, the rude 70's and the movement of the 80's. We will start in Washington Square , to see the ateliers of nearby painters and sculptors. We will continue to the house of the first bohemian writer who lived in the neighborhood, Edgard Allan Poe.
In the West of the Village to discover the oldest houses in which we will tell about the hideouts and refuges of New York bohemia through the ages. We will go to the Cherry Theater , to see the oldest theater with off-Broadway classification . We will continue to Chumley's clandestine bar , we will discover the escape doors of its clients, when the police came to comply with the Prohibition Law. We will continue making a stop at the emblematic building from the Friends series.
In the final stretch of the tour we will arrive at the place where the first LGBTQ Pride Demonstration was held and the scene where the riots took place on June 28, 1969, Stonewall Inn . You will know the history of the bucolic Gay street and the amazing origin of its name.
We'll meet in Washington Square. The guide will be with a yellow umbrella and backpack.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
