I go to NYC quite a bit and love to hang out in the Village. Its great fun to hang in Washington Park during the day. There is usually live music and its one of the best spots to people watch that I have ever been. You see the speed chess players area. Searching for Bobby Fisher is loosely based on some characters from Washington Square. The park is beautiful and it is surrounded by NYU- giving it a great college vibe. You can wear anything in the village-dressy, casual, punk, etc. Noone is gonna bat an eye. At night Bleeker street and Mcdougal street are awesome. Nothing but shops, bars and restauraunts that really come alive at night. Most every bar has music 365 nights a year.

My friends and I were wandering around, totally lost but very thirsty when we wandered into the Duplex. What a fun club! Being a seasoned fag hag, it was no shock to me, but my friend Julie was quite surprised. I guess the rainbow flag didn't tip her off. After a few drinks, karaoke and performers, she mellowed out and we all had a blast.

Greenwich Village (pronounced "grenn-itch") is a very special, historic neighbourhood in NYC, originally famous for artists and anti-establishments bohemians.
High real-estate prices have now dramatically changed this area of the city but traces of the original artistic routes can still be found. It's a great place to spend a sunny afternoon!

This area is a home to many celebrated artists and writers. Many streets are lined with trees what makes it nice for a walk. Also a popular gay district is here, Christopher Street is lined with all kinds of shops, bookstores and bars. The Greenwich Village is very alive but at the same time it seems quiet and kind of laid back. I think it’s a great place for living. :-)

The Village is a nice bohemian area near NYU and Washington Square. This is a nice place to walk and wonder around during the day or at night. You can find some old British-like architecture, including the famous NYU dorms.

In Greenwich Village (or 'the Village' as it's most widely known) you will find quaint side streets and stunning historic brownstones. It's quiet, residential, but with a busy street-life; there are more restaurants per head than anywhere else; and bars, while never cheap, clutter every corner. With the Yuppie invasion of the 1980's, many residents could no longer afford to live in Greenwich Village. Because of escalating real estate costs they moved to the East Village and some of the original Bohemian atmosphere and youth-culture that was so inherent in Village life shifted eastward with the new rock-clubs like the Pyramid, the Continental and C.B.G.B.'s. The picture on the left was taken on a summer day at Washington Square, a hub of aimless activity throughout the year. History: The Dutch bought Manhattan Island from the Indians in 1626; and at that time the area which we know as Greenwich Village was primarily a woodland with deer, elk, woodchuck and other creatures. The Village soon became known as the best tobacco plantation in the colony, and under the direction of the Dutch West India Company, tobacco plantations flourished. After the British captured Nieuw Amsterdam in 1664, a commander of the fleet of English warships named Sir Peter Warren in 1731 purchased a large portion of the Village plantation, where he lived with his family in a beautiful mansion overlooking the Hudson River. He named this farm Greenwich.
