Greenwich Village
The closest any American neighborhood comes to a corner of Paris, Greenwich Village has been home to artists and writers, nonconformists, entertainers, intellectuals, and bohemians since the turn of the 20th century. And in spite of the neighborhood's denizens' enthusiasm for changing the world, the neighborhood itself has hardly changed at all. Washington Square and its arch and the rows of townhouses around it with charming alleys behind them are all frozen in time. Greenwich Village -- also known as the West Village or the Village -- is more upscale than the East Village and is home to a large community of gays and lesbians.
There's a variety of Off-Broadway productions to chose from including "The Fantastics," the longest-running musical in the world; Blue Man Group in "Tubes"; and newer entry "Hedwig and the Angry Inch." The East Village, a mecca for hippies in the 1960s, is still home to young people attracted not only by low rents (which are rising as the area becomes gentrified) but by experimental music clubs and theaters and cutting-edge fashion. Alphabet City (named for avenues A, B, C, and D), as you head east, is still a little rough around the edges but has many reasonably priced, fun, and trendy places to eat, drink, and shop.
Through this website you can also access the information you need, in order to attend live television screenings from Spin City, David Letterman to Ricki Lake! If you are planning a trip to the US and have always wanted to do the 'Go Ricki, Go Ricki thang' visit www.ny.com for all the details
