Greenwich Village has quite a history, and strolling along the streets can really bring you back in time!
Greenwich Village, often affectionately called “the Village,” is one of Manhattan’s most iconic and storied neighborhoods—a place where creativity, culture, and counterculture have thrived for more than a century. Bounded roughly by Houston Street to the south, 14th Street to the north, Broadway to the east, and the Hudson River to the west, Greenwich Village offers a distinct atmosphere that feels worlds away from the city’s grid of skyscrapers. Its charming, winding streets, historic brownstones, and intimate cafes reflect the neighborhood’s bohemian roots and enduring allure.
For decades, the Village has been a haven for artists, writers, and free thinkers. In the early 20th century, it became the epicenter of New York’s literary and artistic movements, drawing figures like Bob Dylan, Jack Kerouac, and Allen Ginsberg. During the 1960s, it was also a key site in the struggle for civil rights and LGBTQ+ equality—the Stonewall Inn, located on Christopher Street, remains a national landmark of the modern gay rights movement. Today, while much of Greenwich Village has become more upscale, the neighborhood continues to embody a spirit of individuality and cultural expression
