From the Golden Age of the American gangster at the turn of the 20th century (when this area was reported to boast 300 brothels, 300 gambling joints, and 360 gang hangouts), to the bohemian arts and drug culture of the 1960s, 70s and 80s, some of the most infamous and colorful criminals, characters, and weirdos in history have called the East Village home.
