“Hi-Spots” of Greenwich Village New York

Detailed map of ‘The Village’ issued in conjunction with the 1964 New York World’s Fair.

This simple street plan outlines the iconic Manhattan neighborhood of Greenwich Village in the mid-1960s. At the time, it was a hotspot for the counterculture movement, but the village has ‘cleaned up’ its image for this publication, intended for a broad audience attending the 1964/65 World’s Fair.

Nearly three hundred separate locations (listed on the verso) are numbered across the map, prefixed with letters that identify their respective category; Antique Shops, Art Galleries, Nightclubs, etc. Twelve particular points of interest, including NYU, the Thomas Paine House, and Washington Square Park, are noted according to the legend in the lower right. Subway stations are also identified according to their operator.
