  • Visitors to New York and any lover of Dylan Thomas's poetry, will enjoy this self-guided tour of ten places in Greenwich Village associated with the Welsh poet.

    Dylan toured the USA four times and spent a lot of time in Greenwich Village, New York, and died there on November 9th 1953. He was one of the greatest English-language poets and a very colourful character. The leisurely 2-hour tour will introduce you to some of Dylan's poetry, the bars and restaurants he frequented, the hotels where he stayed, his readings, his friendships, and the real facts behind his premature death in the city.

    Simply print this PDF and take it with you to the Village for a very interesting walk around some of the most historic places in the Big Apple.

    The tour was written by Aeronwy Thomas, daughter of Dylan, and Welsh poet Peter Thabit Jones, in association with the Welsh Assembly Government in New York.
