Greenwich Village and Seventh Avenue South • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to the heart of Greenwich Village, specifically where the energetic diagonal of Seventh Avenue South cuts through the historic West Village. You are standing in one of the most culturally significant corners of New York City, a place that has long served as a haven for artists, radicals, and dreamers who dared to live differently. As you look around, you will notice that this area feels more like a small European town than the rigid skyscraper canyons of Midtown Manhattan. That is because the Village is older than the master plan of the city itself. Before you start walking, take a deep breath and listen to the hum of the neighborhood—from the distant clatter of the subway beneath your feet to the chatter from the nearby sidewalk cafes. This guide will help you decode the secrets hidden in plain sight, from the world’s smallest private plot of land to the hallowed grounds where a global civil rights movement was born.
