🍂 “The sun was low, and the heavens glowed with the splendor of an autumn sunset. Gold and purple clouds lay on the hilltops, and rising high into the ruddy light were silvery white peaks that shone like the airy spires of some Celestial City.” 🍂

On this day in 1868, the first volume of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women was published — introducing readers to Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March and giving us one of literature’s coziest worlds just in time for autumn.

More than 150 years later, there’s still something about Little Women that feels particularly right when the leaves begin to turn: books, writing, firesides, family, growing up, and (of course) Jo March scribbling away feverishly.

So in honor of Alcott and the March sisters, we have to ask: Which March sister are you?

And if crisp air makes you want to wander through the stories and writers of New York City, come get literary with us in Greenwich Village this fall. 📚🍂

Happy birthday to O. Henry and D. H. Lawrence!
O. Henry became part of New York tavern lore, writing stories of ordinary city lives while frequenting what is now Pete’s Tavern. Lawrence’s path crossed the orbit of Mabel Dodge Luhan, whose legendary Greenwich Village salon helped shape the modernist world before she drew him west to Taos.
We always love an excuse to celebrate writers who found inspiration in taverns and salons. Cheers! 🍻📚

We are proud to introduce The Greenwich Village Literary Ghost Tour! Wednesdays this October at 7pm — Meet us at the Washington Square Arch! Get spirited with us! (Ticket link in bio)

This spooky season, two experts of the NYC tour industry join forces to make your Frankensteinian dreams come true. Featuring the brains of Rob Gonyo of Haunted Manhattan and Eric Chase of Lit Pub Crawl, learn about NYC authors’ favorite haunts and the Greenwich Village graveyard that might just be right under your feet. See the Village in a new way after dark! Bring your friends or a date on an autumnal chilly eve for a little bit of Poe, the House of Death, the Hanging Branch, and more. While we can’t promise that you’ll see a ghost, we can definitely promise you’ll have an opportunity for a spirit or two. Great for lovers of literature, ghosts, history, true crime, and those looking for a little Halloween season fun! There may be a bar stop or two if space allows, so any guests who attempt to personally raise the dead during the tour (or who are not 21+) will not be allowed entry.

Featured Authors Including: Dylan Thomas, Edgar Allan Poe, Edith Wharton, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Emma Lazarus, H. P. Lovecraft, Hans Holzer, Henry James, Mark Twain, Maxwell Grant (Walter B. Gibson), and Shirley Jackson.
