"Lovely street -- especially for a big one"
There are a lot of really old buildings on Greenwich. Most of them are from the 19th century and many of the original townhouses still exist. There are, of course, some massive apartment buildings on Greenwich St: The Archives (a former factory turned luxury apartment building wherein the apartments are pretty stunning) and the Printing House (same as the archives). The Printing House raised quite a stink when they converted their old racquetball gym into a new Equinox with a pool . . . . that no regular members of Equinox can use without paying another 100 bucks a month! Almost no one can use that gym considering the regular fees are already exorbitant. And, yes, I am a regular Equinox member so that news really chapped my hide too.
There are some overpriced boutiques that line the street but it wouldn't be the West Village without them. And, because there's not a ton of commerce, the street manages to keep it's quaintness, which I always liked.
One thing you can't not mention when talking about Greenwich street is the Spotted Pig. The Spotted Pig is a fantastic restaurant on 9th at 11th. It is always packed and really renowned. The bartenders are a little crusty but other than that, it's pretty awesome. It's quite dark and the food is really heavy, so it lends itself to a rainy evening. It was my favorite place to grab a beer and comfort food when I lived down the street.

"A Long Street with a little of everything"
"Good atmosphere in a great neighborhood"
"Quiet, Chic, and Spacious"
This area is very chic, with plenty of bars and underground clubs that stay hopping until the early hours. The Tapas bar on Spring and Greenwich has a great atmosphere and caters mostly to a late 20's early 30's crowd. Many of the apartments here are surprisingly spacious for Manhattan and offer quiet night time hours. This street defintely embodies the charm of the West Village, and is a nice area to visit.
