The Village
Stretching roughly from 14th to Houston Streets, between the Hudson River and Broadway, the Village is most renowned for being the birthplace of the Beat movement and bohemian style. The historic Washington Square Park is the center and heart of the neighborhood, but the Village has several other smaller parks. The Village also has a bustling performing arts scene. It is still home to many Off-Broadway and Off-Off-Broadway theaters as well as a focal point of cafes, bars and upscale boutiques. Nowadays, it’s not peculiar to see celebrities flock the restaurants and shops, as many stars now own much of the real estate.
Soho
From Houston to Canal Streets, between the Hudson River and Lafayette Street, Soho was primarily associated with the arts, but has steadily become famous for both destination shopping and its downtown scene. SoHo's location, the appeal of lofts as living spaces, its architecture and its "hip" reputation as a haven for artists all contributed to SoHo’s chic reputation. Known for its commercialization and eclectic mix of different boutiques for shopping, the neighborhood boasts shops that include Prada, Bloomingdale's, H&M, Marc Jacobs, Chanel, Victoria's Secret, Puma AG, Dolce & Gabbana, Urban Outfitters, Apple Store, J. Crew and Calvin Klein.
Upper West Side
The Upper West Side may not be as renowned as its downtown neighbors for the arts, but the area still houses numerous artists, actors and writers. Extending north from Columbus Circle at 59th Street up to 110th Street, it is bordered by Central Park West and Riverside Park. Numerous cultural, art, and educational institutions grace the Upper West Side of Manhattan, including the American Museum of Natural History, the Lincoln Center, the Metropolitan Opera, Juilliard School of Music, Symphony Space, and Columbia University.
Upper East Side
This family-oriented neighborhood stretches from 59th to 96th Streets, between Central Park and the East River. With its world-famous museums, elite schools, luxury boutiques, and proximity to Central Park, the Upper East Side is home to some of the city's most affluent residents. Many popular things to do in New York City are located here, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum, The Whitney Museum of American Art and the 92nd Street Y.
East Village
From 14th Street to Houston Street on the east side, the East Village was once considered part of the Lower East Side, but in the 1960s it began to develop its own culture and became known as the East Village. Numerous artists and hippies began to move into the area, attracted by the base of Beatniks that had lived there since the 1950s. It has been the site of counterculture, protests and riots. The neighborhood is known as the birthplace and historical home of many artistic movements, including punk rock.
