Manhattan, New York

Living in West Village

Crooked streets, townhouses and the best corner restaurants in the city.

The West Village breaks the Manhattan grid: its streets bend and angle, and the scale is low — townhouses, walk-ups and small apartment buildings instead of towers.

It's one of the most sought-after addresses in the city for a reason. Neighborhood restaurants, cafés and shops fill almost every block, and the Hudson River Park waterfront is a short walk west.
