Welcome to Greenwich Village
Also known as “The Village”, home to quaint tree-lined streets, historic brick townhouses, brownstones—the old New York charm—and hip cafés and restaurants, this beloved neighborhood is always lively and vibrant, where its residents contribute diverse, social energy and dynamism in this centrally located part of Manhattan.
Bounded by 14th Street and Houston Street, from north to south, and Broadway and Hudson River, from east to west, with the iconic Washington Square Park at the heart and soul of this neighborhood, Greenwich Village has, and still is, been defined by influential figures that launched the great counterculture movements of the 20th century, and continue to loom large in many of its landmarks over the years.
A popular meet-up spot for get-togethers among friends, and the presence of several esteemed institutions of higher learning, such as New York University, Parsons School of Design, and Cooper Union, adds a collegiate atmosphere to the neighborhood. Neither too heavily congested or too quiet, as foot traffic in this neighborhood moves at a brisk, industrious pace, Greenwich Village is a vibrant and organic area that epitomizes down-to-earth, communal culture, trendy shops, and dining, making this neighborhood intriguing to explore.
