My original reason for visiting that part of town was to eat at a famous diner, known as the Waverly. I found Washington Square Park by accident when searching for the Diner. There aren't any big stores there at all. Its nearer a British town high street with small sports stores and musical instrument shops. Of course there is some interesting architecture, as ever with Manhattan.
These themes attracts me to visit at NYC, I have already heard about this place from my friends who visited last month through govisitnyc and give this place best rating to visit once. So I am here looking for another way to visit all places like that which is com my budget, Can anyone suggest me ?

The park is free and is Surrounded by Greenwich Village, which is also interesting to stroll through. It's best to visit the park on a nice day when there are lots of things going on there. Also not far away is Highline Park, which is a beautiful place to stroll.
Hi. I've read there are a lot of people with dogs and I haven't seen dogs wearing muzzles in the pictures... Please, tell me if it's true and if the park is dangerous that way? Thank you.
A:
I don't remember too many dogs! The one that were there weren't wearing muzzles, but they didn't spoil our visit! We certainly never felt in a dangerously situation because of dogs!
Hi - just wondering if there were opening/closing times where access was restricted ot the park, per the "The Big Apple Guide" on the TA travel guide sections, it states 9am-9pm for Washington Square park? Or is it an all hours park? Given it is open air, and therefore no theoretical lines would any day be advisable to go? Or is there particular days where it is nicer to enjoy the park and/or other special aspects, people watching etc? Will be a first time visit to NYC! :)
A:
Cannot comment on the opening &closing times but usually Sunday would be a good day. Lots of activity etc. Please note that it is especially interesting on a warm sunny day.
