People say that Washington Square Park is a very pleasant place, and you should visit because of the street theater and music. It is also great for walks, and the arch is amazing.

Trip advisor reviews:
Went there on a Sunday after the walking the High Line, when we arrived there were some buskers under the monument, plenty of people milling around, it was really cool. Everybody was chilled, complete contrast to uptown Manhattan.

a must see, the bird man was entertaining. The girls held and fed pigeons, The arch was beautiful. A quick walk from a metro station.

a good place to sit and relax. many people and performers here so it is a good place to people watch and see all walks of life. would recommend in the area. the large arch in the park is good for pictures. and plenty of room to troll around

Washington Square Park is a great place to stop for lunch and enjoy a bit of quiet time. the fountain in the middle of the park is a great feature and a lot of locals also stop here for a bite to eat during the day. the Arch is also lovely, very similar to the arc de Triomphe in Paris.
