T WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE START
, a crazy pattern of streets
that broke from the city's grid plan, reflecting the boundaries of
a rural village. As a bohemian haven, the leafy lanes of the Village
have been home to artists and writers. Jazz musicians, beat poets, and
performers like the young Bob Dylan found their places here. Later it
became popular with gays, and today cafés and funky shops
attract the young from all over the city. The village really comes to
life at night, when cafés, theaters, and clubs beckon at every turn.
