SHOW/HIDE NEIGHBORHOODS MAP

Historic refuge for intellectuals, artists and the liberal-minded, the Village is known for its old world charm and gentle architectural scale. This is the neighborhood where New Yorkers go for walks along tree-lined streets of brownstones and pre-war apartment houses. From cheap eats to magnet restaurants, local favorites may accompany long waits that can reward with a palate pay-off.

WANDERBUY

Greenwich Village and the West Village, often referred to interchangeably, have evolved into separate shopping identities largely focused along Bleecker Street. Between 8th Avenue & Christopher Street the charming shops have become a sort of mini-Madison Avenue of high-end branded boutiques. Between 7th and 6th Avenues are old world specialty food retailers and heading east to Laguardia Place, touristy cafes, bars and fast food are the mainstay. Other pockets of unique retailers line Greenwich Avenue by Seventh Avenue and Hudson Street by Charles Street.

GUSTO RISTORANTE 60 Greenwich Ave. (212-924-8000)	Brunch Lunch Dinner	$$-$$$	Suggested
Chef Jody Williams made her mark (she's migrated to nearby restaurant MORANDI) with this seasonal-centric ingredient-focused Italian menu. The food is rustic at heart but refined in its preparation. The decor is sleekly sophisticated while being warmly inviting. Though done tastefully, opt out of the dungeon-like feel of the small dining room on the lower level.
