The East Village of the 1950s: An Island Within An Island
“Go east of Avenue A when you move to New York,” said artist Joan Mitchell in the summer of 1955, when she encouraged me to dare to leave Paris and come to live in New York City.
“Go to the Lower East Side. It still has that soulfulness you are always talking about. Charlie Parker lived there. Artists like Franz Kline, and so many others still do. It's the real New York. You'll find it a haven from the Philistines. It's an island within an island.”
When I came back home to the USA to live in New York, I moved to my sixth-floor walk-up railroad flat apartment at 319 East Eighth Street (now torn down and rebuilt), between Avenues B and C in the fall of 1955.
Joan Mitchell was right. The Lower East Side, now called the East Village, was an island within an island. There were still a handful of old men with pushcarts selling vegetables, pots and pans, used clothes and rags on the streets, and even a horse and wagon that was run by a man who claimed to be a gypsy prince who sharpened knives.
