Washington Square Park | Greenwich Village

Washington Square Park | Greenwich Village

Washington Square Park is one of the best-known of New York City's 1,900 public parks. At 9.75 acres, it is a landmark in the Manhattan neighborhood of Greenwich Village, as well as a meeting place and center for cultural activity. It is operated by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.

An open space with a tradition of nonconformity, the park's fountain area has long been one of the city's popular spots for residents and tourists. Most of the buildings surrounding the park now belong to New York University, but many have at one time served as homes and studios for artists. Some of the buildings have been built by NYU, others have been converted from their former uses into academic and residential buildings. Although NYU considers the park to be the quad of the school's campus, Washington Square remains a public park.

Limelight Marketplace

47 W 20th St New York, NY 10010

여긴 참 사연이 많은 곳이다. 19세기 중반에 고딕 양식의 교회로 지어진 이 건물은 1970년대에 와서 경제위기와 함께 팔려버려 83년도에 Limelight 라는 나이트클럽로 재탄생했다. 2003년도에 Avalon 이라는 이름으로 다시 열렸다가 2007년도에 아예 문을 닫았다. 없어진 듯 했는데, 2010년 5월 7일에 다시 Limelight Marketplace 로 일종의 멀티샵 같은 쇼핑몰로 다시 문을 열었다. 여전히 별로 장사는 안 될 것 같아 곧 문을 닫을 것 같다. 왠지 이 건물을 각 시대의 믿음을 담고 있는 것 같이 느껴진다. 19세기의 교회라고 한다면 20세기의 종교는 쇼핑인가 ? 라는 하는 생각을 하게 한다.
