Its landmarks include Washington Square Park and the stone arch at the park’s north end; the park’s paths and open space offer a break from the surrounding streets. Dining ranges from neighborhood cafés and bakeries to restaurants along Bleecker Street, while independent shops and larger retailers add to the shopping mix. The area’s long cultural history is reflected in its architecture and enduring music and performance venues, with bars and live entertainment contributing to its evening scene. Walking and cycling are practical ways to explore, and subway stations connect the neighborhood with other parts of Manhattan and beyond. For Greenwich Village, the median rent is $6,400 per month, with a typical range of $3,395 to $175,000.
