Waverly Place

Waverly Place is a narrow street in the Greenwich Village section of New York City, in the borough of Manhattan. Waverly changes direction roughly at its midpoint, turning from a north-by-northwest/south-by-southeast street to a northwest/southeast street. At the intersection where this transition occurs, Waverly branches into a Y, creating an intersection of Waverly Place and Waverly Place. Washington Square North, which is part of Waverly Place, is a short street in Greenwich Village in Manhattan in New York City. It presents a unified line of Greek Revival townhouses, sometimes called "the Row", across from the northern side of Washington Square Park, a 9.75-acre (39,500-square-metre) public park.

The street was named after Sir Walter Scott's novel Waverley in 1833; prior to that it was called Art Street.

Famous quotes containing the word place:

    Precisely because we do not communicate by singing, a song can be out of place but not out of character; it is just as credible that a stupid person should sing beautifully as that a clever person should do so.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
