Something for everyone in the village
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/26/05
Union Square, Washington Square Park, the most diverse array of movie theatres imaginable (commercial to very, very artsy), hip clothing stores, women's rights were born there, writers and artists lived there, celebrities from Nicole Kidman, Salma Hayak, and Julia Roberts call it home, impromptu street vigils during 9/11 happened there, Halloween is big and incredibly fun there, and it's the most chic and the most bohemian part of the City. Which means you can find something for your grandmother and something for your punked-out teenage kid. And oh, did I mention the variety of restaurants? On University Place, you have lunch specials in very chi-chi places that run only $6 (such as at Spice). Finally, the Village is *still* a neighborly neighborhood.
