Travel VLOG #56

On day 2 of our travels in New York City we explore the musical history of St. Marks Place in the East Village. Our family has a history with underground punk rock music, and this place was recommended for us to check out. So much history within these walls!!

St Marks Place is a cultural mecca within the East Village. Buildings 19-25 have a notorious history- In 1920 the buildings were acquired by the Polish National Home or Polski Dom Narodowy, a community meeting hall and restaurant. The building began to transform again as the Beat Generation took root in the Village in the 1950s and 1960s. A short time later in 1966 Andy Warhol and Paul Morrissey rented the upstairs space to open a psychedelic performance venue known as the Exploding Plastic Inevitable with The Velvet Underground as the house band.- then later changed into The Electric Circus at 19-25 Saint Mark's Place in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan. In the 1980s and 1990s the building was the All Craft Center, an addiction treatment and housing facility run by local interfaith minister Joyce Hartwell.

In 1977, St. Marks Place became the epicenter of all things Punk Rock, when Manic Panic opened its doors on July 7, 1977. The shop quickly attracted musicians from Cyndi Lauper to the Ramones.

We also discovered the building featured on the Led Zepplin album cover, Physical Graffiti.

After exploring the spring zine fair and enjoying cheesecake, we wandered to Washington Square Park. We were surprised to find an Indian festival~ with wonderful music, exhibits and food! A celebration of culture under the Washington Square Arch!

So many multi-cultural celebrations all around New York City!!
