How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

The low brick streets of the Village, around a square park with a marble arch.

The real place

Greenwich Village keeps its own crooked street pattern from before the Manhattan grid. Its centre is Washington Square Park, whose marble arch was built in 1892 to mark a century since George Washington's inauguration.

Visiting

Start at the Washington Square Arch and wander west into the side streets around Bleecker Street and Grove Street.
