CROWD AVOIDANCE
Weekends are packed. Take an afternoon off and allot four hours.
GETTING THERE
Take the A, C, E, F, or V line to the West 4th Street subway station. Use the Sixth Avenue (West 4th Street–Washington Square stop) exit. Walk west.
GETTING CASH
ATMs are located in bodegas and corner stores.
GENERAL STORE HOURS
Most places are open Monday through Sunday, 11 to 7.
SNACK, CAFFEINATE, FIND A BATHROOM
There isn’t a Starbucks on this street—Amy’s Bread (250 Bleecker St.) is the best caffeine-on-the-go option. If nature calls and you’re on the street, slip into the bathroom at Rocco’s Pastry and Espresso Bar (243 Bleecker St.).
GIFT WRAPPING
Boutiques including Satya (330 Bleecker St.), L’Uomo (383 Bleecker St.), and Clary & Co. Antiques (372–74 Bleecker St.) gift-wrap their merchandise.
