The first mention of the 'East Village' in The New York Times [EvGrieve]
52 years ago today the New York Times mentioned the "East Village" in print for the very first time, forever memorializing the would be home of Lady Gaga, and countless other hipsters hailing from all over America.
The article was titled "'Village' Spills Across 3D Ave." And it appeared on Page 1. As the article notes, the destruction of the Third Avenue El in 1956 "helped stir up a minor social and realty revolution on the Lower East Side." The article makes a lot of interesting observations... such as the growth of "high-rent apartment houses" that popped up along Fourth Avenue, replacing some second-hand book shops in the process.
