The Washington Square neighborhood surrounds Washington Square Park and spreads down toward Houston Street. This section is the heart of Greenwich Village, known for its cafés, nightlife and diverse community. Take time to view the elegant townhouses that overlook the park. Browse through the boutiques and jewelry shops along the narrow treelined streets. Stop in a chess shop on MacDougal or watch a game in the park, where there is always some form of entertainment. There is an eclectic mix of restaurants and music spots to relax and enjoy.
