An Evening with Barry Lewis: The Village

New York’s first Bohemian neighborhood was Greenwich Village in the 1910s, when everyone from Edna St. Vincent Millay to John Sloan made “the Village” their hangout. It became so hip that by the 1920s the Bohemian era was over, due to rising rents and new luxury apartment buildings—until the next disaffected generation took up the Village’s mantra of non-conformism.
