| At Washington Square Park at the end of our walk. Is anyone exhausted? |
We decided to do our outing last Wednesday because at 90F (32C), it was the coolest day of the week. Still, it was hot, but thankfully, the tree-lined streets of the West Village, which we read about the day before, kept us cool enough in the shade.
We started at the Jefferson Market Courthouse on 10th St. and 6th Avenue, strolled down the same narrow lanes laid out by the Dutch, and saw some of the oldest houses in Manhattan. Our route included the historic Stonewall Inn, the White Horse Tavern (the iconic hangout of literary greats), and the narrowest house in Manhattan. We ended our walk at Washington Square Park, where we sat for a little bit before heading off in different directions.
Be sure to check out what we wrote about our experience in the Village.

| There are a couple of theories as to whom Gay St. is named after, but it goes back three centuries to the Dutch era in Manhattan. |
