Day 506

The Yiddish Art Theatre

May 19th, 2013

I was on an unofficial peregrination through some already-walked turf in the East Village today when I noticed this non-cornerstone at the Village East Cinema, which, it turns out, used to be the Yiddish Art Theatre, built in 1926 for the theater company of Maurice Schwartz, the "Olivier of the Yiddish stage".

I'm walking every street in New York City.

This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
