Wow, my 4 year old is more mature than this. You've been shown to be wrong about the location of the West Village by everyone here, and your solution is to tell people to go away. You claim to have lived there, so either:
A) you're a bold faced liar and actually live in your Grandmother's basement in Albany, or
B) you have no idea where you live even after several years
It almost looked like you picked choice B, but apparently you decided to make a third choice up all by yourself:
C) Read an entire encyclopedic entry incorrectly, pretend it says something different, then come back and post on the internet to some random guy (me) that he should read like a retard
That takes some kind of special talent!!!

"8 St between 5th and 6th is the West Village"
Article StaggerLee22 Posted:
"The area is usually defined as bounded by the Hudson River on the west and either Sixth Avenue or Seventh Avenue on the east"
Well here's a riddle for you boundary czars....I lived on 15th btwn 5th and 6th. Too east for Chelsea, too west for union square, too south for flatiron, too north for g village. Did I even truly exist while living in this no mans land?
There's a few of those black holes, like on the east side 24th through about 30th street roughly 2nd to 3rd, (maybe 1st to lex). Too North for Gramercy, too South for Murray Hill, not quite Kips Bay

Well, an in-law lived between Fifth and Sixth Ave and 15th and 16th St. She lived in a large complex called appropriately THE CHELSEA LANE.
/\ Yeah, what is that area 14th- 17th Street called in between 5th to 6th Ave? Every time I cross 14th Street at Fifth Avenue headed north I always wonder what that area is or if it's part of Greenwich Village... I'm sure some developers will band together and come up with a silly name for it like "Greenwich Village North, "Flatiron South" or "East Chelsea (aka EaChe)"
Nothing is ever official, and I've yet to ever see a single comprehensive map anywhere - probably because it's impossible. On that map, for example, the financial "district" is listed, yet none of the other districts are listed (meatpacking, garment, flower, diamond, etc..). That one map doesn't even have Kip's bay, NoLiTa, Alphabet City (among others). There's also never any mention of non-chinatown ethnic areas like K-Town, little India, little Brazil, etc.. and if that's bad enough the federal government (post office) has it's own myriad list of neighborhood names associated with zip codes. And this is just for Manhattan

It does mention the disputed neighborhoods mentioned above. I don't know what is more official if its not this map at nyc.gov -- though it seems boundaries are always changing.
The other boroughs have their own neighborhood maps elsewhere on the site.
anywayyyyy.... now that you guys are done bickering. What's going on with the West Village?
