Every morning I walk up Avenue A and make a left onto 2nd Street ... this is my daily route to Gracefully
(a.k.a Home of the bestest muffins in America!)
Today however, I decided to walk on the north side of the street because that was the sunny side of the sidewalk :)
And low-and-behold, as I was looking at all the apartment entrances,
my eye caught this plaque:
I was so taken back by how awesome this is/was!!
Holy wow ... Allen Ginsberg, one of the most renowned poets and activists of the Beat Generation, once lived and wrote history, just 2 blocks from my apartment!!! How incredibly cool :)
I'll never look at 170 2nd Street (or my copy of "Howl")
the same way ever again!
