West Village
The West Village is the neighborhood that made me fall in love with New York. I remember walking down Perry Street for the first time, the brownstones, the cobblestones, the way every block felt like it belonged in a film. I’ve spent years getting to know this neighborhood and it keeps rewarding me. If you only visit one area in Manhattan, make it this one.
