A West Village Dream

The West Village is the quintessential depiction of a dreamy New York cityscape, the way it’s often romanced in the movies. It felt good to be out in the brisk wintry air, as long as the sun was shining. I don’t live anywhere near here, but gazing at the English ivy vines that consumed the brownstones and walking across the uneven cobbled streets was a pleasure of mine. Something about this place feels so magical and full of potential, even though living here is decidedly out of reach.
