EAST VILLAGE, NYC
St. Mark's
Place, named after the nearby St. Mark’s Church
in-the-Bowery, is part of Eighth Avenue in Lower Manhattan. It’s named St. Mark’s
Place between Third Avenue and Avenue A.
Still the
land of misfits, it draws as many tourists and locals and the rents are no
longer low.
A cloud of
perpetual weed smell hangs in the air and competes with the scent of many Asian
restaurants and other cuisine.
Referenced
in the Replacement’s ode to the late Alex Chilton -- Checkin' his stash by the
trash at St. Mark's place – the few blocks of history and discord also played
host to great Broad City episode.
