New York Streets: Greenwich Village

I've been in New York for nearly two full months now.  I still feel the need to pinch myself to make sure that living here is in fact my reality.  Every day is a new adventure; exposing the harsh realities of New York with its unwavering charm.  There's so much history, so many beautiful things to be seen, so much mystery waiting to be discovered, so many curious people living an unorthodox lifestyle.  I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't capture this time of my life with an insane amount of pictures.

A blog that I frequent, raescorner, has done a couple of "neighborhood tours."  Living in such a camera-rich city, I've decided to do the same.  I think I'll coin these blogs, "New York City Streets."

This first segment will expose Greenwich Village, in lower Manhattan.  This place has a strong history of Bohemian art.  In the '60's, "the village" is where artists found inspiration for their work.  Overtime however, commercialization made it too expensive for poor artists to survive, so they were forced to move to other surrounding boroughs, or New York neighborhoods. Still, Greenwich is known for NYU, Washington Square Park, and the Jefferson Library.

Next New York City Streets will feature Chelsea's Market.
