Quite possibly the most famous area in all of New York City, Greenwich Village has long been noted for its unique and often eccentric atmosphere. Located in downtown Manhattan, this charming neighborhood is contained by Broadway and the
Hudson River. Interestingly enough, Greenwich Village's street layout does not conform to the usual grid structure of the rest of the city. This unique street layout further helps to exemplify the individual feel of this area.
Since its beginning days, Greenwich Village has attracted a host of artists, performers and various others who walk the unbeaten path. From the soothing sounds of Paul Simon to the edgy comedy styling of Richard Pryor, Greenwich Village has helped launched the careers of an endless variety of performers, and to this day maintains its appeal for those looking to experience something a little different in New York City.
