I thoroughly enjoyed the entire afternoon in Greenwich Village. Visited the Friends apartment, Carrie's brownstone, the bakery, shopping. The whole vibe was nice and a little slower paced. Just loved the area and will return.

Yes, this where the classic t.v. show FRIENDS took place. And it is the best place in the city to find a coffee shop and sit with friends. If the relaxed, artsy, comfortable neighborhoods interest you, go to Greenwich Village. You may get a little lost, as the streets are little more confusing in some places, but just enjoy the... More

What was once something bohemian is now residential, somewhat gentrified but also full of restaurants, bars, clubs and shops, some quirky, many just the general brands you can find elsewhere in NYC. We came here several times during the HOHO bus tour and if you want to get away from much of the usual tourists haunts then this is worth... More

Loved this area of the city! So beautiful and quiet and so much history. Great restaurants and fun things like the Friends apartment building and the brownstone and bakery from Sex & the City.

This is one of the most entertaining areas of New York City that is not touristy. 5th Avenue and the Times Square area are cool, but also full of tourists and people that have no idea what they are doing. Greenwich Village is full of restaurants, bars, comedy clubs and anything you can think of. It really shines at night... More

My daughter and I went early and nothing was open. Pretty area, felt very safe but unless you want to window shop keep in mind this sleepy little area opens late in the morning. Very charming

The Village has a special energy that makes me feel young, inspired, and hopeful. I can't explain it but I love it.

Our friends used to live in the West Village, so it was great fun to return. There has been a shopping boom on Bleeker Street west of 6th and we enjoyed seeing the new shops, dipping in there and there.

such a great place to go to even just for a few hours, we did a tour that took us there and it was a really nice little neighbourhood. great food! (especially pizza) and it is worth it to go for a stroll down bleaker st and just people watch.

We made a stop at Union Square Station on Saturday to enjoy the flare of the local open air vegetable markets! Walked through Union Square onto Greenwich Village where we enjoyed 4-blocks of outdoor vendors selling their bargains!
