New York - Greenwich Village

Greenwich Village or "The Village" as New Yorkers call it, began as a country village in the early nineteenth century. A century later it became a bohemian enclave attracting the likes of painters and writers. Today it is a popular gay district, but also mainstream and expensive. The Village is also home to Washington Square and New York University.

The historic district on the National Register is roughly bounded by West 13th Street, St Luke's Place, University Place, and Washington Street.
