Spicy Moon for the sweet and savory flavors of Asian cuisine with all the satisfaction that comes with a vegan diet, accented with casual funky decor. Another vegan restaurant with a more upscale feel is
Blossom, which displays a thoughtful culinary passion with every dish. Then there’s the
Blue Note Jazz Club for a soothing performance coupled with their creamy French onion soup.
Next up,
Carbone offers residents a bit of authentic Italian cuisine in a cozy, homey atmosphere. You really have to become a fabric of the neighborhood to get a table there though. If your cravings for Italian meals still aren’t quite satisfied,
Dante New York City and their mouth-watering roast fingerling potatoes, garlic aioli, and chives are sure to do the trick. Finally, you can’t go wrong with a good pie, and there are only a few pizza joints that can stack up to the simple but incredible slices of
Joe's Pizza.
Things to Do
Greenwich Village is constantly home to weeks of excitement, and there are plenty of options to choose from. Of course, there’s the famous 5th Avenue and all the influential buildings it comprises, from The Plaza to The Flatiron Building.
Maybe that’s all a bit too busy. Maybe you’d rather gather your gang outside. If you’re looking for a wide-open space to simply enjoy the outdoors, well,
Washington Square Park is always a lovely spot to get away from it all for a bit. Perhaps instead a selection of fine art displays is just what you need for a bit of mental spring cleaning. Then you’re sure to love an afternoon out at the
Grey Art Gallery or the
Whitney Museum of American Art. Lastly, if you’re in need of a few good laughs after a long work week, the
Comedy Cellar can keep you entertained and spice up your weekends.
Schools
The
NYC Geographic District No. 2 school district is always dedicated to providing a comfortable space for the growing minds of Greenwich Village to challenge themselves and their abilities. Below are a few of the many local schools.
