Washington Square Park

Pretty interesting spot that deserves at least a visit. I have been here at least 4 times during my trips to NYC in the last decade and had a great experience every one of them. People come here to connect with art, have fun and chill. As any place in Manhattan, there is always a nearby subway station. The best times to visit are early in the morning when there are less people or during sunset which delivers the best colors and pictures.

It’s a place that makes you feel alive every time you stop or tether by. The crowds are interesting and everyone’s just sort of doing their own thing. It’s a good place to reflect, do whatever you want to, and even skate during the summer ✨ Soak in the vibes and drench yourself in it

This Park is a vibrant, iconic spot. The atmosphere is lively. The famous arch and fountain are beautiful landmarks, especially at sunset. It’s a great place to relax, people-watch, or just take a break from the city rush. Clean, well-maintained, and always buzzing with life—definitely worth a visit if you’re in NYC!

Right at the entrance, there are people playing chess. There is the famous Washington Square Arch and the central fountain. The park has many benches where you can sit and relax. There is also a play area for kids. Just out of the park is Will Smith's "I am Legend's" house. May be I went with high hopes seeing all the wonderful reviews and then reading about how many movies were filmed here. But, it was disappointing really. It's such a beautiful park but when I visited, a section of it was filled with homeless people and the police had to be called to break up their fight. There was smell of weed in some areas. There was trash in some places. If you give it a miss, I won't blame you. Spend your time some where else. Not worth the time. P.S. Just 10 minutes walk away is the famous Monica Gellar's apartment.

Washington Square Park is a beautiful spot in Greenwich Village, especially the arch which looks incredible during the night, we can’t resist it and took some nightly photos. It’s the perfect place to relax and soak up the city’s vibrant energy. You'll find a big fountain, local artists selling handmade jewelry, and people playing chess. It’s a great place to visit—especially during the day. It can be very messy in the evening with people leaving garbage and leaving trash on the grass which then fly around, also some folks half naked jump in the fountain which is not appropriate. But overall everyone is having a great time and the park is very lively packed with students ⛲️
