Program Description

Event Details

There is more to Greenwich Village than you might think. The Village is known as the center of the counter-culture movement of the 1960s. While that that bohemian feel has certainly been transformed into a now expensive and trendy neighborhood, 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!
