This might be my favorite corner in New York City.The abundance of graffiti on almost every surface. The variety of elevations. The dilapidated perfume store. A hectic mess. Below is an up-close shot, taken by famous photographer Terry Richardson.                   CLICK TO ENLARGE

Houston & Ave C [NW Corner] (December 30, 2012)

According to EV Grieve, the Mobil gas station at the corner of Houston Street and Avenue C (Loisaida) was sold to a brokerage firm last year for $8 million. That will leave just one remaining gas station in the East Village (the BP at Second Avenue and East First Street). EV Grieve says, "with the unused air rights, gas stations are just too valuable on such prime real estate in Manhattan."

I don't recall where I found this picture of 1960s Greenwich Village. There's litter on the street in front of Cafe Figaro, which closed in 2008, after 5 decades in business. According to a NY Times article, "Among the customers over the years, lingering over their coffee cups for hours on end, were Bob Dylan, Lenny Bruce and Jack Kerouac."                  CLICK TO ENLARGE
