Long known for its crooked streets and colorful characters, Greenwich Village today is an attractive residential neighborhood, a college campus, and a lively center for night life: Off-Broadway theatres, legendary night clubs, popular bars, and intimate restaurants. A visit might include the picturesque streets and elegant antique shops of the West Village, history-rich Washington Square, home of New York University, the clubs and coffee houses of Bleecker Street, and the East Village, whose tenements, lofts, and studios house some of the city’s best young creative artists.
