West Village which includes a city

Leafy streets and beautiful old brownstone buildings dominate this charming Lower Manhattan neighbourhood beside the Hudson River.

This western part of the larger Greenwich Village neighbourhood is where the likes of Friends and Sex and the City were filmed. Cobblestoned streets, cosy restaurants and little boutiques manage to keep this upscale, fast-paced neighbourhood feel friendly and easy-going. Stroll along the Esplanade with views of the Jersey Shore before dining out in style in one of the area’s great restaurants. Keep an eye out for TV and movie stars in the jazz bars and clubs.
