Greenwich is an entity unto itself. On one hand, it is reminiscent of the way things used to be -- a comfortable place where policemen (and women) direct traffic, offer directions, and ensure that pedestrians cross the Avenue safely. The people are friendly and most times it's virtually impossible to walk anywhere downtown without bumping into someone you know.

But Greenwich is neither old-fashioned nor small. Its facilities are state-of-the-art. The newly renovated library and the new hospital are shining examples of the benefits of living in a town that seems to lack for nothing. The schools are top notch. The parks are lovely. There is plenty of sailing and golf, tennis and swimming. The neighborhoods are safe and the terrain is beautiful and diverse.

While Greenwich is a suburb of New York City, it is nothing like the stereotypical suburb. It is certainly not a bedroom town -- but you can't really define Greenwich without accounting for its proximity to New York City. It is a sophisticated place to be, offering a diverse array of culture, nature, food, entertainment -- and shopping.

A dedication to cultural and social enrichment is evident throughout the community, including notable collections housed in the Bruce Museum and Perrot Memorial Library.
