The West Village would probably be the part of the Village where the
streets are at an angle to the main grid. NYU is in Greenwich Village
but not in the West Village.

"East Village" is a realtor name for the northern part of the Lower East
Side. Gentrification has been somewhat successful there.

Gramercy Park is at the south end of Lexington Ave., 20th-22nd Sts.
Irving Place runs from it down to 14th St. on the Lexington alignment.

If realtors are referring to a "Flatiron District," it's around the
Flatiron Building at the intersection of Broadway & Fifth Avenue at 23rd
St.
