130 Bowery, between Grand and Broome Streets. Constructed 1893-1895, and designed by McKim, Mead & White. The AIA guide says it's right on the edge of Little Italy, but I think it may now be in the heart of Chinatown. The AIA also says it's "one of the great spaces of New York" and that you should "go in." Whoops? More on page 85.
HOW TO GET THERE: Take the J or M to Bowery and walk west or take the B or D to Grant Street and walk north.
Why is that a Whoops?
ReplyDeleteI have Gone in many times. Just ask the guard, and hopefully he lets you see the majestic interior.
