About Greenwich Village

Greenwich Village runs from Houston Street to 14th Street west of Broadway, with Washington Square Park and its arch at the center. It was a bohemian enclave, home to the Beat Generation and the 1960s folk scene, and clubs like the Village Vanguard, Blue Note and The Bitter End still book live music. On Christopher Street you can see the Stonewall Inn, site of the 1969 uprising. Cherry Lane Theatre, opened in 1924, is the city's oldest continuously running Off-Broadway house.
