With the proliferation of new hotels south of 14th Street in New York City (we're looking at you, Standard, Cooper Square and upcoming Crosby Street), it's finally becoming apparent that one need not always sleep around Times Square or Fifth Avenue in order to feel in the middle of the action. Going downtown opens a visitor up to real neighborhoods and the less shopping-driven stretches of New York streets. Perhaps the best example of such an area is Greenwich Village, with its sepia-tinged sidestreets and proximity to NYU keeping it hip.

One of the focuses of Greenwich Village is the large Washington Square Park, by which sits the century-old Washington Square Hotel. Thankfully, this is not a hotel which shirks from the area's boho past, but instead embraces it by evoking cabarets and Paris of the 1930s.

It's no wonder then that they'd be offering the "Dine and Groove" room package from $290 through March 31, which features dinner at the hotels' restaurant, North Square, followed by entrance to "New York’s most happening jazz club, Zinc Bar." We did a little digging on Zinc, and its underground location and history pronounce it the real deal and not some tourist-heavy dinner show. Since we're always looking for good hideaways, you may just find us in the shadows in the back corner, but then you wouldn't be focusing on the jazz, man, the jazz.

To book the "Dine and Groove" package, give the Washington Square a call at 1-800-222-0418 or head online at www.wshotel.com.
