Rising at the northern edge of Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village, the Washington Square Arch is a grand marble monument honoring George Washington. Built in 1892 and modeled after Paris’s Arc de Triomphe, it commemorates the centennial of Washington’s inauguration as President. At almost 77 feet tall, it serves as a beloved meeting point and photo op for visitors. The surrounding park teems with a bohemian vibe, where street musicians, artists, and lively events create a festive atmosphere day and night. Nearby, you’ll find quaint cafes, eclectic shops, and NYU’s bustling campus, making it a prime spot to soak in local culture.
