Yorkville, a Community on the East Side of Manhattan in New York City
I've been blogging on Yorkville, a Community on the East Side of Manhattan in New York City for years. All of these memories in pictures are in an electronic form. Several books have been written about Yorkville over the years with this being the only electronic form for sharing and enjoying these memories of Yorkville from the late 1940s and on. These memories are broken down in to the following categories.
Avenues and Streets
Yorkville, the community that I recall covered the streets from 72nd Street through 96th streets. The Avenues were from the East River up to and including Lexington Avenue.
Candy Stores
Every avenue and street in Yorkville had a candy store on their block, some, even had two candy stores on their block.
Bars and Restaurants
Just like candy stores, bars and restaurants were a way of life for those that were at the legal age to drink.
Social Locations
Every avenue and street in Yorkville had a candy store on their block, some, even had two candy stores on their block.
