Greenwich Village

Greenwich Village manages to retain a hint of a rural atmosphere: there were still farms here in the 19th century. Some of its winding streets are former cattle trails and country lanes.
Oddly enough, it does not have much in the way of formal sights – museums, churches and the like – but the character of its streets varies from the picturesque to the eccentric. The best thing is to wander, look and flop on to a bar stool or café chair now and then to reflect on what you have seen.

The area around the intersection between Sixth Avenue and Bleecker Street is the lively heart of the Village.

It has lots of shops, bars and sidewalk cafés popularised by literary figures in the 1950s, and is a meeting place for New York University students. Although home of the Village’s Italian community, Bleecker Street is a cosmopolitan thoroughfare.

Washington Square is dominated by the triumphal arch commemorating the centenary of George Washington’s inauguration as president. It was first built in wood and later, in 1895, in stone. Most buildings around the square are part of New York University.

Bedford Street is one of the quietest and more desirable of Village streets. Here you can find the flat used for the exterior shots of the TV series Friends.

Subway: W10th St/Washington Square or Christopher St/Sheridan
