This center for arts and culture is also one of the few places located off of the grid of Manhattan’s streets.

Many first-time visitors to the West Village remark at how European it feels. Handsome coffee shops and boutiques line cobblestone streets, and the smell of gourmet food lingers around many brownstone façades. Shop for beautifully restored vintage furniture and enjoy a strong coffee brew at Caffé Reggio, one of the oldest coffee shops in New York City. Its espresso machine dates back to 1902.

Take a leisurely stroll on the High Line ParkOpens in a new window, an elevated disused railroad track that has become a trendy garden, park and sculpture gallery. Spend a romantic sunset at Hudson River ParkOpens in a new window, which faces the Hudson River and gorgeous views of New Jersey.

The West Village has long been a place of tolerance, making it one of New York City’s richest centers for the arts and gay communities. Have a beer at the historic Stonewall Inn, a bar that was instrumental in the gay liberation movement. Snap your fingers at a jazz show in the Village Vanguard, which has been hosting jazz performances since 1935. See a famous blues artist play at Blue Note.

Bordered by Greenwich VillageOpens in a new window and ChelseaOpens in a new window, the West Village is a good place to start a busy day of sightseeing.

Come to the West Village around mealtime so that you can sample one of the many gourmet restaurants this area is known for. Eat peanut butter, jelly and Earl Grey pain perduat a romantic restaurant. Try a pasta tasting menu or unwind with more casual fare at a New York-style pizzeria.

Christopher at the Jane!
"I love the Jane! Staff is always courteous and easy. My only complaint is that each floor always has one shower door that won’t stay open after use. Those showers smell because they never air out.
