Great area for a fun night out! Sep 16, 2009

I loved Greenwich Village!
Wondered around there one day, full of small shops selling all sorts of weird and wonderful things. The NYU campus is in this area so it's very student orientated and laidback. Had lunch in The Red Lion, a British/Irish pub, massive portions! We could barely finish our starters!
Another night we had dinner at The Olive Tree Cafe. Really cool place with a relaxed atmosphere. The food was delicious, as were the cocktails! Reasonably priced, friendly staff, the tables were made of slate and there was chalk provided so you can doodle while you eat/drink.
Went to a bar called Off The Wagon, it was really fun in there and at $2 per drink for ladies I wasn't complaining! They had games going on too, Beer Pong, an American college game. Everyone was friendly and chatty, and the music was rock/indie.

If she's turning 21 you may enjoy bar hopping in the village on MacDougal Street near Bleecker Street. There are some rowdy bars there with a young NYU crowd - and the drinks are not expensive. For a cheap, funky place to eat, try Yaffa Cafe on St. Marks (8th Street) between 1st Ave. and Ave. A in the East Village. It's open 24/7. For a late-night coffee after you can't possibly drink any more, try Cafe Esperanto on MacDougal - its Israeli-owned with free wireless and also open 24/7. Enjoy!

Exactly what I did for my 21st birthday, and people are still talking about it. I'm turning 26 this year... Go to the village, you wont regret it. If you like REALLY crowded places try the Fat Black Pussycat, or Off the Wagon. That's where people I know tend to go... we go to the village fiarly regularly and my fave is a little known place called 1849. They have an upstairs with seating, a pool table and a video game (sometimes it's there sometimes its not), an the dj is up there. If you have a large crowd of your own you can make the place yours. All depends what you're into. We choose that place b/c it's less packed... if you want the crowds stick to the first two. Have fun!!! And be sure to let everyone know it's her 21st bday, the boys will buy all her drinks ;-)

In an inspirational mood I also took the subway to Madison Square in the evening, so near Greenwich village. This is a district with a lot of cool bars, one of them the Psychic which is really worth a visit. A lot of young people and art lovers live here as well. Strolled a bit through the park and almost had to run for a guy that… Empire state building and Greenwich village
