The Village: A History of Greenwich Village; 400 years of Tragedy, Bohemians, and the Arts

There is more to Greenwich Village than you might think. Greenwich Village is known as the center of the counter-culture movement of the 1960s. That bohemian feel has been transformed as its now an expensive and trendy neighborhood to live but it still retains some of its historical roots. Encompassing the West Village neighborhood, Washington Square Park, and the area around New York University, with a 100-block historic district established in 1969, New York City's Greenwich Village is perhaps best known for its historic architecture, a variety of intimate cafés and restaurants, and a nice place to visit. Visiting The Village is like taking a vacation to a super cool place without actually leaving the city. It is undeniably an area like no other place in the city and the country!
