Greenwich Village is the area surrounded by 14th Street, Houston Street, 7th Avenue and 4th Avenue/Mercer St.
Today, we know it as the home of New York University, Cooper Union and The New School. Historically, it's the Bohemian capital and birthplace of the Beat movement. Mark Twain and Edgar Allen Poe lived in Greenwich Village. Today, one could imagine being a writer while sipping cappuccino at Caffe Reggio. In fact, I brought a client there to do exactly that (sip cappuccino) a couple months ago.
