A St. Mark's Place and Second Avenue now and then

Speaking of St. Mark's Place and Second Avenue... Why not do an now and then of the northwest corner... These photos are from Off the Grid, the blog of the Greenwich Village Society of Historical Preservation...

First, a mansion that was once on the corner circa 1903...


... and sorta today... (yes, the coffee place changed names...but still...)



Off the Grid has more on this corner here.

    I was at the St. Marks Theatre that awful night when the A/C went off. When was that? 1980?
