WASHINGTON SQUARE PARKThis park, located in the heart of Greenwich Village and NYU, has any number of activities going on at all hours of the day. Sunbathers, street performers, authors, musicians, families, and tourists, all doing who knows what! It's fun to bring a snack, find a bench, sit back and just watch New York City happen in front of you!
