Fifth Avenue dead-ends here, and so begins low-scale Greenwich Village. Walk east, and you hit Broadway and University (great street).Walk west and you hit 6th Avenue and the West Village. Walk south and you hit Bleeker and the central village bars.

On a nice summer day, the Park is full of jugglers and scammers of all shapes and sizes.

To get there from Grand Central, go south to Bleeker Street, and walk west on Bleeker. At Thomson, go right. The park will be two blocks ahead.
