The Journey
Washington Square Park
Washington Square Park, more than just a green space, is a vibrant heart of Greenwich Village. Originally a marsh, then a potter's field and public gallows, it transformed into a formal park in the 19th century. Today, it's famed for its iconic Washington Square Arch, a marble monument commemorating George Washington's inauguration. Visit to witness lively street performers, passionate political debates, chess players deep in concentration, and NYU students soaking up the atmosphere, all reflecting the park's enduring spirit of freedom and artistic expression.
Greenwich Village
Greenwich Village pulses with a rebellious spirit and a rich artistic legacy. Once a haven for bohemians, artists, and radicals, it birthed influential movements and fostered groundbreaking creativity. Explore its winding streets to discover hidden gems like a 'Picasso hiding in plain sight,' legendary music clubs where iconic musicians launched their careers, and New York's smallest pieces of property. Uncover the unlikely birthplace of a social movement and the former home of a famously colorful mayor, each contributing to the Village's unique and captivating character.
