"One of the loveliest streets in the city!"
Historically, being that the West Village was for many years, the bohemian / artist place to live, there are a lot of cool landmarks on Bank worth noting. The corner of Bank and West is the Westbeth building. It was converted into an artists' colony and it's the place where Diane Arbus killed herself.
63 Bank Street is the apartment Sid Vicious lived and died in (of a heroin overdose in 79).
The famous acting school HB Studio is on Bank street.
And, the Waverly Inn is at the corner of Waverly and Bank. It's one of my favorite restaurants in the city; it is just impossibly cool, dark and old timey. The patio is lovely during the spring as well.
There isn't a ton to do on Bank -- it is overwhelmingly residential. But, it's so charming and beautiful it is definitely worth a leisurely stroll.
