I lived a couple blocks from Tompkins Square Park for several years - on the other side of the city. In 1996 I moved to Alphabet City when it was still "dangerous" and by the time I left (the first time) in 2001 it had been gentrified.

Either way, very different parts of the city with very different vibes.

September to December 1996 was my time there. When the Yanks won their first in awhile.

I stood in line for 13 hours for $26 World Series tix. Probably the last time THAT ever happened.
