West Village, Manhattan
The West Village is western portion of the Greenwich Village neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan. Though there are no defined boundaries, the area is usually defined as bounded by the Hudson River and either Sixth Avenue or Seventh Avenue, extending from 14th Street down to Houston Street. Bordering neighborhoods include Chelsea to the north, the Hudson Square section of SoHo to the south, and the core of Greenwich Village to the east.
A sub-neighborhood, the Far West Village, extends from the Hudson River to Hudson Street.
The neighborhood is distinguished by streets that are "off the grid" — set at an angle to the other streets in Manhattan — sometimes confusing both tourists and city residents alike.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Village,_Manhattan
1. The famous gay statues in the West Village. Facing this little park (Christopher Park) is that gay bar Stonewall, where the 1969 gay riots started. Eventually all the gay celebrations in the world originated after these protests.

New York City's Financial District

New York City's Financial District is the center of commerce in the United States and is the location of the historic Dutch city of the 1600s. The Financial District is the fourth-largest business district in the United States, after Midtown Manhattan in New York, the Loop in Chicago, and Downtown in Washington, DC. Midtown Manhattan passed the Financial District as the place of choice for companies in the early 1900s. The construction of the World Trade Center brought attention back to the Financial District, and residential opportunities began to rise. Today, the Financial District is home to about 30,000 people, and the neighborhood is still the center of activity for office workers and traders of stocks and commodities.
City Hall Park, at Broadway and Park Row. The Municipal Building is in the background.

Philadelphia: Rittenhouse Square - Pennsylvania

15-12-2010 18:15
Rittenhouse Square is a neighborhood centered around one of William Penn's five town squares. The square was originally called "Southwest Square", for being the southwestern square in Penn's layout of the city. In 1825, the square was renamed after David Rittenhouse, who was a clockmaker and astronomer. Rittenhouse surveyed the Pennsylvania-Maryland border from 1763 to 1764, and his survey was used by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon later on. Rittenhouse also was a member of the state General Assembly and Constitutional Convention.
Rittenhouse Square began as a wealthy area when the first mansion was built on Walnut Street in 1840. Land surrounding the square was developed in the mid- to late 1800s, with brownstones, townhouses, and mansions. While some houses are now used as apartment buildings or offices, and highrises were built up along the square in the 1900s, the neighborhood is still a desirable address.
Buildings on Walnut Street, facing Rittenhouse Square. The Van Rensselaer House, on the right, was built in 1898. It was the home of Alexander Van Rensselaer, who financed the Philadelphia Orchestra. The Alison Building, built in 1924, is on the left.

Annapolis: The Historic District/Downtown - Maryland

Present-day Annapolis was settled sometime after 1649, when Puritans exiled from Virginia moved their settlement from across the Severn River. The community was originally known as Proctor's Town, then Town on the Severn, and then Anne Arundel's Towne. Annapolis was renamed one last time, after Princess Anne, when the Maryland Legislature was moved to this location in 1694 by Sir Francis Nicholson. When Annapolis became the colony's capital, a new town was laid out in a Baroque radial street pattern. Two circles were the centerpiece of the town, with either being the site of one of the two important aspects of colonial life: government and religion. Publick Circle, which later became State Circle, was the site of the Maryland State House, and Church Circle was the site of the community's Episcopal church. Annapolis is the only town in the United States with a radial-only street pattern.
Annapolis served briefly as the capital of the United States, after the Treaty of Paris was signed. Congress was held here from November 26, 1783, until June 3, 1784.
Annapolis' colonial center still remains the center of the community, due to the State House; the United States Naval Academy, which opened in 1845; St. John's College; and the retail and dining streets of Main Street, West Street, and Maryland Avenue. The terms "Downtown" and "The Historic District" can sometimes be used interchangeably to refer to the same core of the city.

Boston: Kenmore Square , Massachusetts

Kenmore Square is a neighborhood in Boston near the Charles River. The neighborhood is west of the Back Bay neighborhood and the Fens parkland.
Kenmore Square was originally called "Governor Square", after the plan to place the Governor's mansion in the neighborhood. Upscale rowhouses like those in Back Bay were built to help fulfill plans for an upper class district. Instead, Kenmore Square emerged as the city's automobile center, as development of the neighborhood occurred at the same time as the automobile became popular. As various sectors of the automobile industry moved farther west into the suburbs, Kenmore Square evolved into a commercial center.
In addition to being a commercial center, Kenmore Square is the home of Boston University. The university takes up much of the neighborhood and spills into adjacent neighborhoods. The campus is centered around its quadrangle along Commonwealth Avenue.
Looking at the back of Marsh Chapel, the centerpiece of the Boston University campus. The chapel was completed in 1948. Marsh Plaza, a public space in fron of the structure, is flanked by towers.
