We spent an hour or so in Greenwich Village (with a Big Apple Greeter) and I wish we'd had more time. This really is the 'real' New York and the heart and soul of proper NYC living. Our hotel was near Broadway so visiting Greenwich Village was an oasis away from the hectic (and sometimes vile) 'tourist trap' of the... more

I think this is my favorite area of Manhattan. I could have spent days wondering around. So different from the rest of the city. It amazed my how quiet it was. I loved the tree lined streets. Found the Friends' building and also went on the SATC, a lot of the show was filmed in the village. more

We wanted to see Greenwich Village for the first time, have real NY pizza, had no idea where to start. We booked a walking food tour at http://www.foodsofny.com/greenwichvillage.php, and it was the best. Tried all kinds of food, were told all kinds of history, culture, saw great buildings, the tour guide MIchael was friendly and very Greenwich educated. We visited... more

This was my second trip to New York, but the first time I never got the Greenwich Village or Chelsea area. That was silly! This area (as with so many parts of Manhattan) has it's own unique feel to it, and is miles away from the hustle and impersonality of Midtown. Narrow streets,lots of creativity everywhere, a whole street devoted... more

You’ll get the feeling of a small town. Walk by little bakeries and smell the fresh baked pastries. Do you like the vintage clothing stores? There are plenty... more

For a real slice of NYC life, visiting Greenwich Village is a must, with its beautiful tree lined streets, wonderful architecture and small town feel. Walk the streets where Bob Dylan and his fellow folk music contemporaries played and lived, visit the funky East Village, with its eclectic shops, restaurants and bars, and get the real "flavor" of NYC. Just... more

Wow! My visit to Greenwich Village, was nothing but a delight. It is very rare that one feels part of those pictures and articles we read about. A stylish, classical yet continental feel is a great contrast to the metropolitan hustle and bustle of New York’s over-crowded streets. If your looking for a delicious slice of Parisian life, then this... more
