New York: Greenwich Village
Overview
Greenwich Village - also known as the Village - is the original corner of 'cool', the closest any American neighborhood comes to a corner of Paris. This part of town has been home to artists and writers, nonconformists, entertainers, intellectuals, and bohemians since the turn of the 20th century.
Things to do
Washington Square Park can be found here, with its arch famous from much movie exposure, is the heart of the Village. This 9 1⁄2 – acre park is an oasis and circus combined, where skate boarders, jugglers, stand-up comics, sitters, strollers, sweethearts, chess players, fortune tellers, and daydreamers converge and commune. At night, Greenwich Village comes alive with coffeehouses, cafés, experimental theaters, and music clubs.
