"Crowded or empty, always an interesting park"
- jtc244
With construction and redesign afoot in Washington Square Park, it is somewhat in flux. Add in the surges of New York University students in between classes and there is a motion to the park. Not th...

"A pleasing walk through the park"

Beautiful park to your left, and college atmosphere to your right. What's not to like? Musicians are scattered across the grass, providing nice background noise for a romantic walk through the park. T...

"Packs a lot of sight-seeing punch!"

East 8th turns into St Marks Place at 3rd Ave, and it only begins at 5th Ave. But, for only spanning a few blocks, there are a lot of really cool historical happenings in the area.

11th has a ton of historical residents and great old buildings but there isn't much of a neighborhood feel to the street as it traverses Greenwich. I think it's a little too close to Union Square, or...

There's not a lot to West 9th because it only starts at 6th Ave. The rest of the land to the west is Jefferson Market Garden. The Garden is on the grounds of what was a women's prison until 1973. M...
