Thanks to reader Mick for passing along this link to 12oz. Prophet that features shots from photographer Paul Binzen's book "Tenth Street." The book, published in 1968, documents life on the street from the east side to the west side.
Too bad you guys weren't around in the 60s, the book was everywhere, any apartment you went into...there it was! For a while it became like a fixture in peoples places. I lost my copy years ago and I'm sure many lost or threw theirs away too...Oh well, that's life in the Big Apple, New York New York ;)))

We love tips
Have a story idea or tip about something happening in the East Village? Or maybe a photo? Or several photos? Or video! We'd love to hear about it. Or see it. Or something. Please go here to submit a tip.
By the way
Here, you'll find things that you may or may not be interested in about the East Village and other parts of New York City. Appreciating what's here while it's still here. Remembering what's no longer here. Wishing some things weren't here that are here.

I thought the Jefferson Market Library was now a Gristedes?
Sorry, bad joke.
Thanks for the tip... I definitely want to see the rest of the book... I've seen many of the images here and there, but not all together....
