The University of Georgia's NYC Dawgs is hosting a Walking Tour/Pub Crawl this coming Saturday, February 21 at 5:30pm. All are welcome. Gators and Tigers are already signed up. Participants need to sign up in advance through the UGA regional website. See links and information below. Tour is limited to 30 people. Cost is $20 per person. Beverages are very reasonably priced

What better way to enjoy a Saturday night then to learn about the history of Greenwich Village and its taverns, and then to sample some of the liquid refreshments along the way. On this tour, you’ll see some of the area’s most classic pubs and speakeasies — all with historic associations. Stops include the haunts of Ernest Hemingway and Edna St Vincent Millay, a tavern associated with founding father Thomas Paine, and a watering hole frequented by Robert Kennedy and Norman Mailer, just to name a few. Some southern references will be included - just for this group!

Cost of refreshments are extra, so come armed with some extra cash and a thirst for history, and enjoy the camaraderie of a historic tavern tour!

Tour will take place regardless of weather since we will be able to warm up in the various locations. More information to come.
