Pros: Very diverse, Great music, variety of eateries. Some off beat off Broadway shows. Cons: Parking on the streets is near impossible after 8pm. Lots only.
HISTORY
In my younger years I grew up in New York City's East Village on 7th Street. This is just a short walk from Greenwich Village. After moving out to Long Island Greenwich Village was still a place to go. At that time I lived...
There is still no place like New York City. Out of all the cities I have visited and lived, New York City still tops the cake for diversity and fun. I have a special soft spot for the Village.
Prior to my trip to New York last October I was researching things to do, and was very excited about a culinary tour of Grenwich Village. This was my third trip to New York, and I guess that since I'm easily distracted I'd never before gone far from ...
What do you do with $20 at the village? It’s all so expensive. You have to be on the guest list or someone rich or famous. BUT, on Sundays this is all different.
The village is my favorite part of the city. I lived there three years while in law school and miss it all the time. If you visit the city and are wise enough to get out of the typical Times Square/Lincoln Center/Met routine, spend a day and night in...
Pros: Fun atmosphere, desserts you won't find anywhere else, great neighborhood Cons: Dry devil's food cake, some may not enjoy the casual jostling atmosphere
The spouse and I were taking a break on a bench on Bleecker Street just enjoying the early spring scene, a tentative green haze on the trees and a playground full to bursting with busy toddlers. Several times our attention wandered to a sidewalk...
Pros: great restaurants, cafes, music, comedy clubs Cons: you can get hassled easily
When I was a student at NYU, Greenwich was one of my favorite hangouts. The area itself is always busy, and there is always some sort of an entertainment to be found. During the day, the best place the hangout is of course the Washington Square Park. ...
Pros: Quiet, beauty, history, fine architecture, wonderful shopping and dining Cons: Sixth Avenue is loud and dirty, West 4th Street is unappealing
During sophomore year in high school, Sister Ignatius taught us how to recognize "women of ill repute." We learned that these poor, doomed souls wear red carnations and keep red lights burning in the rooms to which they lure weak men. ...
Pros: cool cafes and night spots, lots of freaky people on the street Cons: not the safest of places
Well, if you ask the question "what is 'the village'?", then clearly, you are not a New Yorker. As a teenager, growing up in NYC, I can honestly tell you that the village has been my favorite and most visited hang out place. Sure it's a...
Pros: Fatty food, cheap cocktails, people who think they just saw Leo Cons: Idiotic bar-hoppers in black and pink tank tops, possible grunge overdose
During Jesse Camp's brief but terrifying stint as an MTV VJ, he once appeared in front of Trash and Vaudeville, the Goth-couture haven on St. Mark's. The juxtaposition of the ethereal Jesse with his explosive hair and the vinyl pants Mecca of New York's...
Pros: Casual, unique, lively - great day & night Cons: Gets overrun with tourists on summer week-ends
When we got married, my husband was a committed upper West Sider and I was living on the East Side. Our first big compromise and act of commitment was to move to the West Village, a big change, as we found a terrific apartment on Christopher Street, the ...
Pros: Great live music, great food, safe, always a good time Cons: The crowds can be a bit much on a Saturday night
If you come to NYC to visit, you cannot miss the Village. Bleeker Street right around the areas of Thompson and Sullivan Streets is the best part of Greenwich Village. For a fun night out, there's nothing better. The energy of this area is fabulous. ....
Pros: Great food and atmosphere, "local flavor". Cons: Price, perhaps, and they can be difficult to find if you don't know the neighborhood. Cabbies will know how to get you there, though.
Greenwich Village is teeming year-round with visitors from all over the world. Most of the shops and restaurants in this historic New York City neighborhood cater to those visitors - which often means higher prices as well as compromised atmosphere. ...
Pros: Lots of free entertainment, professional quality performers, cute dogs Cons: Big crowds occasionally make it a little hard to see the performers
If you find yourself feeling blue, head for Washington Square Park. Fifth Avenue begins here, NYU's buildings line the south side of the little park, and brownstones stand proudly to the north, little changed since Edith Wharton's time.
