#CoverStories the #Stairs lead to the elegant townhomes around Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village NYC . Henry Jameses family lived on Washington Place, just around the corner. The park has been a hub of the Village , as the society folks moved further uptown, the area drew artists, bohemians, and radicals. NYU is near by , it has been a place of meetings , protest , music ,and games of chess.

#downinthepark #nuyear I love NYC! Want to see some folk music, play some chess or mingle with NYU students? Go To Washington Square. Henry James was uniquely equipped to write about it, he was born there.Artists ,writers & radicals have a long ties to the neighborhood.Gramercy Park,still a private park,if you live there you have a key.Teddy Roosevelt‘s birthplace is right on the park & a Natl. Park site.Central Park,huge & amazing,a treasure !
