Greenwich Village, New York City  London has Soho, Paris  the Left Bank, New York  has Greenwich Village. It  is hard to believe an area  exists on the bustling  island of Manhattan  where one can casually  meander through quiet  peaceful tree lined  streets, browsing at the  antique stores, second  hand bookstores and  enjoy a coffee in the  quirky outdoor cafes. ' The Village' as it is  known by the locals is  protected by a historic  ordinance by the City of  New York, which strictly  governs the look and  feel of the area. The area  lies south of Fourteenth  Street, north of Houston Street and  West of Fifth Ave. The  Hudson River runs  along it's western  perimeter.
