Freeman Alley in the Lower East Side (LES)
A while ago, someone pointed out “Freeman Alley”, a tiny little alley just off Rivington Street. I haven’t thought about it in quite a while. T’other day, I was wandering around and about LES and saw it, and spent about 90 seconds wandering the length and width and breadth of the alley-way. Let’s see if I can get an actual posting of nothing but an alley.
There’s not much to it. Here’s a picture that pretty much covers the whole length.
It’s got a couple of restaurants and stores back here, all apparently hot-spots of some sort. I can say it has some terrific graffiti.
I’m glad Jonny’s doing okay…okay, that he’s at least alive.
I would have ignored it, but it kept my attention.
Apart from the LES grittiness, there is at least one straight-out nice looking place.
I believe it’s a restaurant.
Okay, not much of a post, but it leads to another small post I’ll do in a couple of days. In that last shot, just to the right is the back of a place called “The Box”. I had never heard of it until I ran into someone who was working there. I’ve become rather intrigued by it, but I doubt I’ll ever go to it.
But, that’s the subject of another post.
