An East Village map from 1966



Here's a map of New York City’s East Village in 1966 from John Gruen’s book “The New Bohemia.” Click to enlarge and check out all the long-lost spots... (Via.)

Ephemeral New York has more on the book, including a short excerpt.

  1. I like how NYU is one small dot in one small section on the map.
