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.
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.

And in 1979, it pretty much still did. Now it pulsates to pub crawls.
^^ wrong #2.. you are same as Albee.
in 79 the city was in a downward free fall.
Go watch the video on the East Village here on EV Grieve in the 70s.
if pub crawls are the worst thing now,then so be it!
they do not bother me in the least and i am old too!
2, the images from Manhattan are NOT of the East Village which was a hell hole back then.
the only areas not looking shaby back then was the upper east side, depicted in the movie.
