Washington Square Park
Washingon Square Park is a nice park that borders Greenwich Village, Chelsea, NoHo and East Village. It is famous for its cultural feeling, its arch and its fountain and attracts musicians, squirells and people that need to relax a bit. In the 60s folk musicians and beatniks were attracted to the park.

Gay Street. A nice street with a funny name!
I even saw this Gay Street sign on a postcard. The street is named after a man called Sidney Howard Gay, but New York's gay district is close by coincidence.
Village Square is situated in the intersection Greenwich Ave/Christopher St.
