The West Village is the westernmost part of Greenwich Village and is a well-loved neighborhood. With cute shops, great parks, fascinating museums, and delicious bites it's the perfect place to spend time in New York.
The Standard, High Line
An elevated (pun intended) hotel that offers both waterfront and city views, The Standard is a great place to stay. Make sure to save time to experience their beer garden while you enjoy the view.

Don't worry, this itinerary spends plenty of time on the water, but to kick off the day we'll head further into the city to get some banana french toast. Now, you can order something else but you'll be missing out.
See MoreDiptyque Bleecker
Imagine an elevated Bath & Bodyworks and you have the beauty that is Diptyque. If you want a unique souvenir check out their engraved candles to commemorate your trip.
See MoreGrove Court
Take a look into Grove Court to see pre-Civil War homes that have been well maintained over the years. If you love playing Zillow while travelling then you'd be interested to know that this property last sold in 2012 for $3.4 million.
See MoreHudson River Park Trust
Take a deep breath in because we've made it to the water! The whole park spans 550 acres and four miles so you could spend hours here. For a West Village itinerary, I'd recommend starting at the trust and heading north.
See MorePier 45 at Hudson River Park
This 900-foot-long pier features grass, shade structures, and water features to keep you cool. It's the perfect place to stop and bask in the sunshine for a little bit.

No trip is perfect unless there's a bookshop involved and this one perched on a corner is the best one to stop at. They host readings regularly so make sure to check their schedule before you visit.
See MoreMagnolia Bakery - Bleecker Street
We're going to grab dessert before lunch because you're on vacation and you deserve it. Magnolia Bakery's banana pudding is the perfect cold, light treat to have in the afternoon.
See MoreMoonflower
If you're looking for a light lunch and natural wine then Moonflower is a great stop. Order a few small plates and a glass or two. If you're feeling adventurous then order off of their horoscope wine menu and see if the stars will guide you to your new favorite glass.
See MoreMuseum of Illusions - New York
Laugh with your friends while wondering if you really can believe everything you see at the Museum of Illusions, it's a great place to take Instagram-worthy photos.
See MoreThe High Line
Make sure you start this urban hike at the southernmost entrance and take a stroll up and back down the converted train track that winds over the city streets and jaunts between buildings.

Little Island is a man-made island right off of Manhattan. The gorgeous floating park offers great views over the water to New Jersey and is a wonderful way to end your city hike.
See MorePetite Boucherie
Hopefully, you had nice weather and are feeling sun-warmed and ready to eat. As this is a French restaurant you should order a plate of escargot and beef bourguignon before topping it all off with creme brulee for dessert.
See MoreSmalls Jazz Club
Order a cocktail and relax as jazz fills this little club. If you're a musician (and brave) you can bring your instrument and join a jam there.
