Exploring Greenwich Village and the West Village offers visitors to New York City a taste of 'real life' in the big city, although the main drawbacks to this neighborhood can be highly commercial, getting lost wandering the quiet streets is one way wonderful to spend an afternoon (or a whole day!)
Get there
Greenwich Village is easily accessible by the A / C / E and B / D / F / V subway trains to West 4th and the 1 train to Christopher Street / Sheridan Square or Houston Street.
