Greenwich Village

Greenwich Village is a neighborhood located in Lower Manhattan on the West Side in New York City, New York. A relatively affluent community, Greenwich Village is known as the hub of the Beatnik culture of the 1950s and the Bohemian artists' movement of the latter half of the 20th century. One of the more notable points of interest in Greenwich Village is Washington Square Park, located in the center of the area, which is known for its skateboarders and roving performance artists.

Greenwich Village was the primary setting of the 1954 mystery film Rear Window in which laid up photographer L.B. Jefferies took an obsessively unhealthy interest in the goings-on of his neighbors across the street. Through the lens of a pair of a binoculars, Jefferies learned about a possible murder taking place, but was physically restricted from doing anything about. Jefferies' lover however, Lisa Carol Fremont, decided to investigate the matter on her own, leaving a helpless Jefferies to do nothing but watch as she entered a doorway to danger.
