n a city like New York it's easy to find someone with an opinion. It's also just as easy to find someone famous (or someone on their way to being famous). Many have found inspiration and like minded comraderie on a welcoming park bench or the necessary respite to prepare them for a journey into the unknown. You might be surprised just how passionate some people get about the place. Washington Square Park, the cafes along Bleecker Street, 6th Avenue and its noise have all meant different things to different people, some, like Henry James have even used it as a quaint backdrop for a major work.
So join us as we look at the lives of some famous (and not so famous) people and hear what they have to say about the area- you may be inspired to do great things too. And who knows, maybe they'll even name a street after you!
