What else do you know of from 'The Village' in the 60s and 70s?

I love their photoshoot there.
Such a tiny area to house such incredible icons - especially in the early 60s with so many brilliant geniuses of the folk revival, free jazz, blues revival, etc…
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
The 1963 album cover for The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan features a photograph of Dylan with Suze Rotolo. It was taken in February 1963, a few weeks after Rotolo had returned from Italy, by CBS staff photographer Don Hunstein as Dylan and Rotolo walked in the middle of Jones Street, close to their sixty-bucks-a-month apartment, situated in the back of the 3rd floor of a four story block at 161 West 4th Street.What other stories and locations do you like from The Village in the 60s and 70s?

Finally visited this street back in the Spring! There’s a record store on this street that has SO many copies of the album displayed. Café Wha? has become another favorite as well, they do a lot of events dedicated to the artists of that time, and the house band is FANTASTIC!!

I've been to NYC very briefly as an hour layover on a train trip to New Orleans! I didn't get into the city to sightsee, plus my anxiety may not have let me haha, but it'd be neat to see John and Yoko's New York some day!
Do you have one of the John Lennon's Liverpool maps?

I wish I did, GDN! I’ll have to check the price of one on John’s website (money is kind of tight, it’s a wonder I was able to get the meditation mixes haha) but I’d love that someday!
I'll send you one.

I’m flattered GDN, but you don’t have to do that!

I am very flattered I’m on a budget I just have to watch what I spend that’s all

I also don’t want anyone thinking it looks like I’m asking for free stuff you know?

Not to derail the thread on my first post 
but I do believe that this is the only pic from their time before getting into Greenwich, when they stayed at the St. Regis Hotel. Really fascinating how little of his life was photographed (at least, as far as we the public can see) whenever he made his big move. I think there was a photoshoot on the 27th of November but, not really much else until after they properly settled in.

I was lucky enough to visit NYC in 2002 when my brother lived there briefly. I got to see Strawberry Fields in Central Park. I definitely want to go back one day because I don’t have a lot of photos from my time there.

That’s wild! Sounds like it was a good experience

It was amazing. I have a tight budget so traveling isn’t something I can do right now, but I hope to be able to go back one day.
Another fave spot of mine - Caffe Reggio! The best spot for people watching and some yummy food/drinks. Stopped in yesterday since it was so beautiful outside!
