Waverly Place

Route map: Bing / Google

Waverly Place is a narrow street, in the Greenwich Village section of the New York City borough of Manhattan, that runs from Bank Street to Broadway. Waverly changes direction roughly at its midpoint at Christopher Street, turning about 120 degrees from a north/south street to a northwest/southeast street. At Christopher Street, the traffic direction changes as well, from southbound to westbound.

At the intersection where this transition occurs, Waverly branches into a Y, creating an intersection of Waverly Place with itself. 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 acres (3.95 ha) public park. The "Washington Square North" designation only applies to the street for two blocks on the northern end of the park.

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