G's Guide to the West Village

Let's Hear it For New York

The West Village is arguably one of the most charming neighborhoods in New York. We love to wander its tree-lined, cobblestone streets. Cozy, diverse and picturesque, this area is known for fashionable boutiques, lively restaurants and historic buildings. Below are some of our favorite places to shop, and most importantly - to eat - in our favorite neighborhood in Manhattan.

What's a visit to New York without a little shopping? 

Bleecker St is home to an amazing mix of retail. Around the corner, you'll find our store on the corner of W. 4th & Bank next to Le Labo. We love how the locals stop by to chat and hang out on the bench outside.
