West 4th is an interesting find on the Lower West Side near the financial district. The street is overall very vivacious and artsy and appeals to both a young and old crowd. You might enjoy eating at Mary's Fish Company, Extra Virgin, or the Chow Bar! In terms of being a residential street, I think that the prices might be a little too steep for people on a tight budget!

West 4th Street is close to the following metro stations: many metros and It is also accessible to many buses. Foot traffic is moderate, and it is a good neighborhood for most people.
