I found a hostipal in greenwich called MedRite Urgent Care that gave a descpription about their hospital that was very specific and detailed and good. It got a 5 star rating by one person out of one reviewer. This person made the review on June 4th so pretty recently. The reviewer said that is was very fast and proffesional and is going to stop wasting his/her time going to emeregency room at another place in the city.

Places to go in Greenwich Village New York.
There are many places that we can go to in Greenwich Village. One place I think we should all go to is Washington square park. I think this would be a great place to go to mainly because of how popular it is among tourists and residents living in the area. It is also not only one of the most iconic places in Greenwich village but also throughout New York as well. Because of how popular it is, Washington square park would also make a great place to interview people about the area and Greenwich village in general.
Fun facts about the park:
Fun facts about the park:
- Washington Square Park is named after our first president, George Washington. The park was also dedicated to him as well.
- The park itself is 9.75 acres or 39,500 m^2
- Washington Square park is also known for its chess players that come to play. (For money of course)
