See where Jimmy Hendrix played at Cafe Wha? and visit Caffe Reggio, which claims to have poured the first stateside cappuccino. And you can’t miss MacDougal Alley, where artist Jackson Pollock once lived.
For lunch, visit one of MacDougal's budget-friendly counter-service eateries. Within a few blocks, you can find Vietnamese noodles, shawarma, kati rolls, pizza by the slice, and more.
Washington Square Park isn't your typical green space, but rather an extension of New York University and its unofficial campus green. MacDougal borders the park, so head there to relax on sunlit benches or spot Bohemian village denizens.
Greenwich Village is famous for its comedy scene, and MacDougal hosts three top stand-up venues: the Grisly Pear, Comedy Cellar, and Greenwich Village Comedy Club. Book the late show to enjoy dinner beforehand.
Dinner at one of Macdougal's white-tablecloth Italian eateries is a must for foodies. Dante is a longstanding café with outdoor seating and great cocktails, Denino's is the spot for pizza, and Villa Mosconi serves outstanding pasta.
