Many a dreamer have walked those cobblestones. Films are constantly shot there and it's the official/unofficial NYU campus. Being my alma mater, I'm partially biased to the magic of the area. You can spend the whole day there and write a novel just on your surroundings constantly changing with such joie de vivre.
