The History Press, 2011-06-26. paperback. Very Good. 6x0x9. Minor shelf wear, binding tight, inscribed on the half-title page, else pages clean and unmarked. WHAT LUMINARIES WALKED THESE FABLED STREETS, AND WHAT HISTORY WAS MADE IN THIS ROUGH-AND-TUMBLE TURNED GLAMOROUS LITTLE VILLAGE IN NEW YORK CITY? Greenwich Village is a tourist's dream and a favorite weekend destination for New Yorkers. A part of Manhattan Island that holds its own amid the noise and confusion of the twenty-first century, it still retains much of the character of the old farming community that was part of the original settlement of Manhattan. The West Village, the northwest section of the neighborhood, is bounded by the Hudson River on the west and Greenwich Avenue on the east and is where it all began. Famous people such as Sinclair Lewis, Fiorello LaGuardia, William "Bill the Butcher" Poole, Frank Serpico, James Baldwin and Jackson Pollock, among dozens of others, called this neighborhood home. Stroll down the back streets and along the waterfront and peer behind the facades of these historic structures to discover its fascinating history, hidden secrets and little-known tales
