When I think of the West Village I think food. Any local New Yorker looks forward to any night out in the West Village as you know you’ll be treated to some amazing cuisine… if you pick the right places obviously. It also has a true neighborhood feel being that it’s so far removed from anything and has a maze-like quality that could even get a veteran New Yorker lost.

It’s a very hip hood teeming with pretty fashionable people and has gorgeous tree lined blocks. Why wouldn't you want to hang out there?

Where.

The ‘West Vill’, one of my favorite neighborhoods, is located between 14th Street and Houston Street from north to south and 6th Avenue and the Hudson River from west to east.

Attractions.

What makes the West Village so attractive is that it truly is a neighborhood. Part of its charm is that due to all the odd street angles it’s very easy to get lost wandering around. Aside from being visually cute the 2 main reasons to visit are Food & Drink and Music, specifically Jazz.

Transit.

Since the West Village is very far west along the river, there is really only one train line to get there. You can take the 1/2/3 Train or if you feel like walking a few extra minutes the West 4th Street A/C/E B/D/F/M stop will put you pretty close.
