Patchin Place

Fodor's Review:

This little cul-de-sac off West 10th Street between Greenwich and 6th avenues has 10 diminutive 1848 row houses. Around the corner on 6th Avenue is a similar dead-end street, Milligan Place, with five small homes completed in 1852. The houses in both quiet enclaves were originally built for waiters who worked at 5th Avenue's high-society Brevoort Hotel, long since demolished. Later Patchin Place residents included writers Theodore Dreiser, e.e. cummings, Jane Bowles, and Djuna Barnes. Milligan Place became popular among playwrights including Eugene O'Neill.

  • Metro: A, B, C, D, E, F, V to West 4th St.
