Greenwich Village Neighborhood Overview:
Greenwich Village is bordered by Houston Street to the south and 14th Street to
the North. It extends east-west from 6th Avenue to Broadway. With Washington Square
Park at its heart, the Village is a neighborhood that attracts a mix of NYU faculty
and students, families, and young professionals. Many of its streets are narrow
and densely treed, making the Village feel more like Europe than a neighborhood
in New York. The Washington Mews, just north of the park, looks like it was transplanted
directly from Paris. Housing; Like the people who live here, Greenwich Village
apartments are a mixed bag. From prewar, doorman luxury to bright loft spaces
to more affordable new construction buildings, there’s a little bit of everything
here. Restaurants; The streets along Bleecker, south of the park, are lined with
cozy Italian eateries and cafes. Il Mulino, on West 3rd Street, is one city’s
most revered old Italians. Just a short walk away, at Babbo, on Waverly, Mario
Batali cooks up new Italian delicacies. Arts/Entertainment; The Village is home
to a wide variety of landmark music venues, from rock at the Bitter End to jazz
at the Blue Note. For bars, Villagers pile into the venerable Madame X for grungy
appeal, Black and White for low-key class. If you’re feeling kitschy, Bowlmor
Lanes is a popular place to knock back a few beers and some pins. With NYU pumping
in new youth each semester, the Village will always have a vital nightlife. Subways;
1, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, V, N, R Great Outdoors; Did we mention Washington Square
Park? This New York gem features a gorgeous stone arch, large fountain, street
performers of all kinds and a dog run. It’s the perfect place to while away
a Sunday afternoon. From there, stroll along the streets on its western edge for
some old world charm. The Future; Nowhere but up for Greenwich Village. NYU is
constantly building and refurbishing, and landlords are following suit. Close
access to the funky East Village and the beautiful West gives this neighborhood
a little bit of everything.
