    Lunchtime #drawing: Construction work on West 10th Street means not as many cars parked (blue Vespas excepted) and a clear view of numbers 10 and 12, the latter with a great bay window, and the place where Emily Post (Etiquette) lived as a teenager, her dad, the architect Bruce Price, moved in during the 1880’s.…

    Lunchtime #drawing: On March 6, 1970, the townhouse at 18 West 11th Street in Greenwich Village accidentally exploded while members of the Weather Underground were assembling bombs with dynamite in the basement.
