Introduction
Washington Square is located between the trendy, free-spirited neighborhoods of Greenwich Village and the East Village in New York City. Since the establishment of the square, Greenwich Village has become a home to many writers and artists, while the East Village has become a hub for the punk scene and experimental theater. Within a mile radius centered around Washington Square, there are many coffee shops, bars, restaurants, and jazz clubs to satisfy your taste. The most prominent feature of the square is a marble arch built to mark the 100th anniversary of George Washington's inauguration. The original arch was built in 1889 and was later replaced with a new marble arch designed by Stanford White in 1892. On either side of the arch stand statues of Washington, with the peaceful Washington on the right and the wartime Washington on the left. These two statues were added in 1918 and 1916, respectively.
