In his honor, a photo of Kerouac that Allen Ginsberg shot in the East Village outside Tompkins Square Park...
The caption reads:
Jack Kerouac wandering along East 7th street after visiting Burroughs at our pad, passing statue of Congressman Samuel "Sunset" Cox, "The Letter – Carrier's Friend" in Tompkins Square toward corner of Avenue A, Lower East Side; he's making a Dostoyevsky mad-face or Russian basso be-bop Om, first walking around the neighborhood, then involved with The Subterraneans, pencils & notebook in wool shirt-pockets, Fall 1953, Manhattan.
You can find other photos online that Ginsberg took of Kerouac and Williams Burroughs in the East Village ... like this one from Ginsberg's apartment at 206 E. Seventh St.
