🏛️ West village

West Village attracts many people who enjoy designer boutiques and trendy restaurants. Rows of Federal-style homes alternate with public plazas along the neighborhood's picturesque and often cobbled streets. Well-known nightlife spots include the Village Vanguard jazz club and the Stonewall Inn bar, which was the scene of riots in 1969 that led to the creation of the gay rights movement. In this historic cultural district there are also piano bars, variety restaurants and theaters.

💡Due to its location just west of Indian Village, the neighborhood was named West Village in the mid-20th century.
