The New York Times‘ Literary Map of Manhattan, showcasing “where imaginary New Yorkers lived, worked, played, drank, walked and looked at ducks” is making the rounds anew on the internet. (The map first appeared in 2006 2005). The renewed activity in the map is testament to enduring interest New York City’s literary history, as well as continued enjoyment of a very fun piece of multimedia from the folks at the Grey Lady. As you might imagine, Greenwich Village (see above) is well represented.
We’d like to take this concept one step further and invite you along for a Greenwich Village Literary Walk on October 24. Not only a great excuse to walk around the beautiful streets of the Village, but you’ll get to see up close and personal where many literary luminaries lived and worked, including James Fenimore Cooper, Louisa May Alcott, Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain, Washington Irving, Edna St. Vincent Millay and others. Tickets can be purchased here. Browse all upcoming City Walks here.
