Greenwich Village: The oldest house of NYC

    This tiny house has been built in 1799. It is less than two meters on the street.
    I saw the house on February 15th, 2007. The weather was so bad and the temperature so low than my digital camera did not function any longer.

    Two streets away from St Luke's Place is Morton Street, which is in fact more beautiful than the more famous St Luke's Place...

    Yes, G. Village is completely different NY city from one you can see on Times Square or in Wall Street. Lot of small charming restaurants, galleries, boutiques. We have been there in Christmas time but I guess that being there in spring or summer is even more interesting and colorful.

    Greenwich Village: Colonnade Row

    Corinthian Columns of
    Colonnade Row - Oct 09
    by MM212, 1 more photos
    Although this striking row of Corinthian columns seems as old as the remains of the Temple of Hadrian in Rome, it dates only from 1833. Still, for New York City, it is considered as ancient, but perhaps not as valuable, for they seem neglected and in ruins. Known as Colonnade Row, and previously LaGrange Terrace, these columns belong to four townhouses, which are all that remain from a row of nine identical houses that once lined Lafayette Street. They were designed in a Classical Revival style as luxurious residences. Notable individuals, including Charles Dickens, are known to have stayed in them. Unfortunately, five of the nine townhouses were destroyed for newer construction. Luckily, these four remain and are currently used by different business, but are in desperate need of restoration.

    At the beginning of Fifth Avenue, a white marble Memorial Arch replaced a wooden arch which was fired by a group of Liberal Club pranksters in 1917. The original wooden arch designed by Stanford White was erected in 1889 to mark the centennial of President Washington’s inauguration.

    Greenwich Village: The East Village

    Formerly known as the Bowery, East Village lies east of Greenwich Village and NoHo, north of the Lower East side, south of Stuyvesant Town. Its includes the area known as Alphabet City (Avenues A, B, C, D).

    In the late of 19th Century and early of 20th Century, immigrants from German, Ukraine, Poland and Ireland have made the East Village their new home. Since then the area has been home to the Beat generation of the 50s, hippies in the 60s and punks in the late 70s and 80s. Today it’s still a young person’s neighborhood with New York University in the area. The East Village has been considered one of the strongest contributors to American arts and culture.

    The latest addition to New York's list of trendy hotels, the Standard opened its doors in the Meatpacking District in 2009. Its ultra modern design is said to have been inspired by Le Corbusier and is built on stilts over the High Line. The area immediately surrounding the hotel, called the Meatpacking District, has become in recent years New York's trendiest shopping, restaurant and club district. The hotel is built such that all of the rooms enjoy views over the Hudson River, and rumour has it, so that everyone outside would enjoy the views into the rooms! It is said that the hotel has been the scandalised by certain exhibitionists who in the evening appear to leave the curtains drawn, lights on and allow the outside world to see them in their acts! If that's not your flavour, then try going to the attractive Standard Grill on the ground floor for lunch or dinner, outdoors too weather permitting.

    Greenwich Village also known as the West Village or the Village. The neighborhoods surrounding the Greenwich Village are the East Vilalge to the east, Chelsea to the north, SoHo to the south.

    Greenwich Village has been a hotbed for art, literature and music for most of the 20th Century. It has transformed to a bohemian enclave of struggling writers and artists. Many American artists have made their homes in the Village. It remained a mecca for creative people. New York’s gay community can be found in Christopher Street in the West Village.

    Greenwich Village: Saint Mark's-in-the-Bowery Church

    One of New York's oldest churches, Saint Mark's-in-the-Bowery was built in 1799 as a replacement to an older chapel dating from 1660. The original church was built by Petrus Stuyvesant, the Governor of New Amsterdam (NYC under the Dutch), as a family chapel, on land he had acquired from the Dutch West India Company. The land was intended to be used as a "bowery", i.e. a farm, hence the name of the church. It now finds itself in the middle of the East Village in New York, not too far from Saint Mark's Place, a street notorious for its many punks who are attracted to the body piercing and tattoo artists (see attached photo). Also nearby is Stuyvesant Street, which is known for its beautiful 19th century historic townhouses. Saint Mark's-in-the-Bowery is an Episcopal church.

    The center of Greenwich Village is known as The Village and Washington Square Park is the hub of the Village. The park was dedicated in 1826, surrounded by rows of elegant townhouses with charming alleys.
