Greenwich Village’s narrow, winding streets, magnificent architecture, and small parks are the backdrop of this charming yet distinctly urban neighborhood. With few tall apartment buildings, this historic district is an oasis of leafy lanes and landmarked buildings, whose denizens are passionate about preserving the small-town feel. Offering quintessential city living with a charismatic history, Greenwich Village is coveted by those who want to experience old New York but with a modern twist.
Greenwich Village is in Downtown Manhattan, centered between the Hudson River, SoHo, Chelsea, Flatiron, and the East Village.
Washington Square Park, and its famous arch—designed by noted architect Stanford White and immortalized by novelist Henry James—is the centerpiece of Greenwich Village and serves as the town square, tourists, and entertainers soak up sun and the scene. In the maze of streets surrounding the park, homes built in architectural styles ranging from Greek Revival to Federal, Italianate, and Modern repose in elegant yet understated style.
Galleries, boutiques, and restaurants blend with legendary music venues, such as Village Vanguard, Smalls, The Bitter End, and Café Wha, where a “freewheelin’” Bob Dylan found fame. As you move east, the East Village, once home to a vibrant arts scene, including the nightclub CBGB, a landmark of punk, folk, and new-wave music, and where Andy Warhol, Robert Mapplethorpe, and other artists made their names, has retained its eclectic vibe.
Home to abstract expressionists Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Andy Warhol, Greenwich Village was a thriving art scene in the 1950s and 1960s. As the neighborhood was discovered and rents increased, the art scene shifted to SoHo and Chelsea. The Grey Art Gallery at New York University includes the work of Willem de Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler, Louise Nevelson, Alex Katz, Joan Miro, and Pablo Picasso in its collections. The Whitney Museum originally opened in 1931 in the Village and is now the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting, and Sculpture
From historic multi-story mansions to contemporary condominiums with sweeping park and Hudson River views. The neighborhood is a wonderful place to stroll, starting with Bleecker Street and its artsy boutiques and popular restaurants. Once a magnet for bohemians, musicians, and literary greats, Greenwich Village has become more refined over the last few decades. Name streets including Grove, Barrow, Morton, Perry, Charles, and University Place, with their elegant row houses are a reminder of the area’s rich history. These architectural landmarks along with 21st-century residential structures designed by architects such as Richard Meier, are a draw for New Yorkers seeking privacy and luxury in an intimate setting.
One of New York’s top culinary destinations, Greenwich Village hosts eight Michelin star restaurants.For surf, head to Sushi Zo and ZZ’s Clam Bar. And for innovation in vegetarian cuisine, there is Nix, from acclaimed restaurateur John Fraser, which was just awarded its first Michelin star.
