Greenwich Village earned a reputation as a magnet for bohemians and intellectuals. Generations of artists and writers-Henry James and Edgar Allan Poe, and Jackson Pollack gave the neighborhood its freewheeling identity, and radical thinkers from Upton Sinclair to John Reed have held forth in smoky Village cafes. The energy is infectious as you stroll the bustling environs of Washington Square Park and New York University, view the haunts and hideaways where the likes of Dylan Thomas, Jimi Hendrix and Lenny Bruce plied their craft, and savor stories of how the Beat Generation sprang forth and flourished here. From Bleecker St. to MacDougal St. to Sheridan Square, we’ll uncover some of New York’s rarest sights (including the smallest piece of private property in the city!) and the strange-but-true anecdotes attached to them.
