Greenwich Village - home of many famous musicians and actors, but also plenty of cafés, bars, restaurants of different cultures and little boutiques and shops.
If you want to relax and go for a walk or even bring your dog together with other dogs you can do that in Washington Square Park which you can find in the heart of Greenwich Village with the campus of the famous New York University (NYU) right next to it.
"Sex and the City"- Fans (I call myself an big one) shouldn´t miss Carrie Bradshaw´s house which is also located in this neighborhood and even if you miss Mr. Big´s black limousine in front of the door and Carrie herself sitting on the stairs, trying on her newest pair of Manolo Blahnik´s, it is nice to see that place.
If you are craving for something sweet or, just like me and my friend, for a hot chocolate on a cold winter day you can visit the charming "Magnolia Bakery" (also known from "Sex and the City").
All together... if you want to experience a "Village- feeling" in the middle of New York City, Greenwich Village is your place to go.
