Woman on E. 10th St.<\/em> is based on a photo of a woman who was kind enough to pose for me during my last visit to Manhattan. \u00a0I took photographs\u00a0of my old East Village neighborhood, the area around Tompkins Square Park<\/a>. \u00a0One of my favorite hangouts,\u00a0Life Cafe,<\/a> which was on the corner of 10th and Ave. B is gone, replaced by another cafe. \u00a0I used to eat at Lyscho’s\u00a0on the corner of 7th and Ave. A, where Yuca’s is now. \u00a0The food was cheap<\/em> and plentiful<\/em>. \u00a0I refer to my old neighborhood the ‘East Village’ but many New Yorkers call it ‘Alphabet City.’ \u00a0Alphabet City is the neighborhood starting at Ave. A and running east that encompasses avenues B, C, D. \u00a0Beyond Ave. D\u00a0is the East River.<\/p>\n
