Admittedly 3 neighborhoods, but they glide into each other so seamlessly that your experience is not complete until you have walked the length of (West) Bleecker Street. Start on the commercial drag in Greenwich Village, cutting through the leafy West Village past the elegant brownstones and finish in the newly gentrified Meatpacking District, somewhere between the Highline and the Hudson; by now you must be humming a Paul Simon number circa 1964; these streets are like walking the pages of an American Songbook. If Soho belongs to artists then the villages belong to bohemians and nothing feeds the creative mind and spirit of a bohemian like coffee and cake; so let this be our focus.
