After seven years on the comparatively bucolic Upper West Side, it looks like we're being forced to move downtown for more flexible real estate options. As a married couple without children (though one or two could happen), we've loved uptown life. It's a more uniformly pleasant neighborhood. Beautiful tree-lined streets. Very few junky areas (though nowhere particularly hip) and Central Park is right there.
It looks like our new apartment will be in Greenwich VIllage/Noho, a couple blocks north of Houston. Frankly, we are not very familiar with the area. What can we look forward to? What are the downsides?
Where will be spending time? Soho is right there and Union Square is a short walk. Both a obviously nice areas with things to do, but neither impart the same neighborhood feel of the UWS.
Am I just not cool enough?
