A Celebration of 28th and Broadway

If your favorite neighborhood in Manhattan is what I like to call The Plastic Wig and Lousy Trinket Import District, or Little New Lagos, or, as they once called it, Tin Pan Alley, or, more boringly, North Flatiron, you will enjoy this oral history of 28th and Broadway. Emma Goldman’s Mother Earth was headquartered there, for one thing. (Fun fact: Mother Earth went defunct in 1917, at the same time that, around the corner, at 28 W. 28th Street, the Everard Baths was already becoming a gathering place for the gays.)
