Visit Greenwich Village New York City and Enjoy
Greenwich Village New York City is one of the major places in the city that both residents and visitors go to make a day or evening of it. Although it has a reputation as an avant garde kind of place, it has lost some of its Bohemian feel in recent years.
Today, tourists visit Greenwich Village New York City and simply enjoy the neighborhood. If you want to go to this part of Manhattan, you will be visiting the area where the Beat Generation made their home. Among the famous residents who made Greenwich Village New York City home are the singer Bob Dylan.
The lower East Side and the Village exist in the same general area of Manhattan, the East Village east of Broadway and the village west of Broadway. It is not quite the Greenwich Village of old with its easy atmosphere, but it is still most interesting to visit.
The area caters to the adult crowd and many of the bars and clubs in this neighborhood range from cheap to quite expensive. As for food, you can find just about any food you would like from the street vendors or the many restaurants that are very common in this part of New York City.
Even though Greenwich Village New York City is not generally for children, you can take them to places that do not interact with the more adult parts of the neighborhood. One good place to go with children is Washington Square Park. And if you need a little alone time with your sweetheart, you can go there for a romantic getaway as well.
The area has an interesting history. Before European and American settlers showed up, the village was a large tobacco field tended by Native Americans. After Dutch settlers arrived, it was cleared of the crop and renamed Nordwyck.
After English settlers showed up, they forced the Dutch settlers to leave and renamed the area Grin'wich. At this time, Grin'Wich as a neighborhood was actually not part of New York City. When yellow fever swept through and wiped out a lot of population in lower Manhattan, many people moved to Grin'Wich because it had open spaces and clean air.
The history is not particularly significant when one thinks about what the village represented in the fifties to the seventies, but its twentieth-century Bohemian culture took root there as did other important parts of American history like the anti-Vietnam War movement. During this time, Greenwich Village New York City was home to a very unique culture and alternative lifestyles.
Many writers, musicians, poets and artists moved to the area for its ambiance and in search of their own fame. Businesses there were generally coffee shops and thrift shops, but they began to cater specifically to the arts crowd and made themselves accessible to that particular type of customer.
These days, the neighborhood has undergone many changes as compared to its Bohemian days. Of course, Greenwich Village New York City is still a very interesting place to go, but the borders are closer and the artsy feel and ambiance is largely absent. You can find certain areas, though, that still embody that.
Although it used to be that Spring Street was the demarcation for the Village, it is West 4th Street now. West 4th Street still has the flavor and feel of the original art scene in small areas.
This area is where you can still find some of the original art scene. In addition, this was a major epicenter of the homosexual movement about twenty years ago. The area today is a mix of straight and gay nightclubs and boutiques that supply alternative clothing popular to young people. The area is also sometimes called the New York City red light district.
West 4th Street also has the renowned street courts, training ground for many of the greatest street basketball players. The NBA and the And 1 Corporation used this area as a location for making street basketball films. The courts are across the street from the subway stop at West 4th Street and it is a popular place to stop and simply watch the athletes' skill, especially during the summer months.
If you are planning to visit the Big Apple, be sure not to miss Greenwich Village New York City. Its uniqueness will make it a place that once you visit, you will always remember.
