such a great place to go to even just for a few hours, we did a tour that took us there and it was a really nice little neighbourhood. great food! (especially pizza) and it is worth it to go for a stroll down bleaker st and just people watch.

We made a stop at Union Square Station on Saturday to enjoy the flare of the local open air vegetable markets! Walked through Union Square onto Greenwich Village where we enjoyed 4-blocks of outdoor vendors selling their bargains!

Washington Square in the centre of Greenwich village is where you have the main NY university buildings. It's a very calm area with some cobbled streets and old houses. There are lots of little shops as well as a couple of sex shops which was a bit of a surprise.

This is the place you want to go if you want to see where the locals hang out! We went here to find a nice restaurant for dinner on our final day in New York. There is fine dining at very cheap prices here! You will not find restaurants in Times Square for this price or at this quality! Apart... More

We mostly walked around the village, stopping at some shops and bars. Feels much different than most of Manhattan- like a neighborhood instead of a big city.

Get lost on Bleeker street, or Bedford street, or sit at Washington Park. There are many shops to stroll around in, and great places to eat of find a dessert.

Greenwich is home from home for a brit like me. I loved the little alleys and cobbled streets. I loved the houses and the lack of skyscrapers. There's a cafe or bar on every street corner and prices are very reasonable too. Greenwich is a very colourful place with a bohemian atmosphere. It's a lovely place to just wander around.... More

A slice of NY life - if bohemian, quaint, arty and perhaps a little nerdy is your style. Take the bus or subway to get the best experience.

A center of intellectual and creative foment has kept its landmarks but succumbed to floods of drunken sports fans overflowing their favorite TV bars. Many nice cafes and restaurants with charms deferred.
