Around Greenwich Village
Just below Union Square and extending all the way to West Houston, the neighborhood covers a considerable amount of ground. Properties with proximity to Washington Square Park are the most coveted, but plenty of side streets like 10th Street or Waverly Street feature stunning homes and maintained walkups. The narrow streets of the neighborhood are home to moments of quiet, like on Gay Street where Manhattan seems to slow down at your doorstep.
The tight sidewalks of Greenwich Village are constantly full of commuters, tourists, locals, celebrities, and oftentimes, residents walking their dogs. Floral shops open onto the street and coffee shops spill out onto cozy cafe tables. Jefferson Market Library serves as a central focal point, with charming gardens attached open for viewing. Commerce sticks mainly to main avenues such as 7th Avenue and Greenwich Avenue, and the streets connecting them are reserved for residences ranging from large brownstones, co-op buildings, and condos.
There is no shortage of upscale eateries in Greenwich Village. In fact, the neighborhood just might be Manhattan’s most ideal meeting spot when it comes to a memorable meal. Enjoy authentic cuisines at Loring Park or I Sodi for New American and Italian fare, or try getting a table at the highly sought-after restaurant Via Carota. The neighborhood is also home to a high concentration of excellent Japanese fare, like Torika NY and Llama San. If you’re interested in something a little more casual, opt for the iconic Mamoun’s off the park for falafel.
Start with a drink at the darling Bar Pisellino before making a reservation at Dante for Italian cuisine. Make a pit stop at Van Leeuwen Ice Cream for a sweet treat before taking in a late showing at IFC. If you’re more in the mood for music, slip into any number of jazz clubs on 7th Avenue.
You’ll have to wake up early to beat the neighborhood's early risers for a coffee at Jack’s Stir. Then take a walk through Washington Square Park before the crowds with picnic blankets start spreading out and the park gets packed. Walk to Three Lives & Co, a bookstore that will transport and inspire you. Spend the afternoon at one of the many local parks for some fresh air and admiring the natural outdoor scenery.
Easy access to about 10 subway lines makes living in Greenwich Village a breeze. The neighborhood’s walkability is fantastic and part of what gives it such an old New York feeling. Owning a car without access to a parking garage is a no-go here. Crosstown buses serve the area, as well.
