That was my first year to assist at this exiting Jazz Festival in New York City at the Greenwich Village. This is my version of that promotional poster.

Chumley's was a historic pub and former speakeasy at 86 Bedford Street, between Grove and Barrow Streets, in the West Village neighborhood of Greenwich Village, Manhattan, New York City. It was established in 1922 by the socialist activist Leland Stanford Chumley, who converted a former blacksmith's shop near the corner of Bedford and Barrow Streets into a Prohibition-era drinking establishment. The speakeasy became a favorite spot for influential writers, poets, playwrights, journalists, and activists, including members of the Lost Generation and the Beat Generation movements.

Washington Square Park is a public park in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, New York City. Two prominent features are the Washington Square Arch and a large fountain. It includes trees and gardens, children's play areas, paths to stroll on, a chess playing area, park benches, picnic tables, commemorative statuary and two dog runs. This graphic is part of a series.

The orange bicycle makes a beautiful contrast to the steps of this brownstone.

"Renascence" was a title of one of the early poems by Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950), American poet and playwright. She was a part of the bohemian lifestyle of Greenwich Village and didn't fit into mainstream society. In 1923, she won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.

This was where I went when I lived in the Village, and where I went when I lived elsewhere. No place quite like it. Kitsch ruled, fun abounded, neighborhood sprung from this Tex-Mex watering hole.
