First walk-up on the left was hers

When Jane Jacobs wrote her seminal work on walkable urbanism, The Death and Life of Great American Cities, she lived on an upper floor of a humble walk-up in New York’s Greenwich Village neighborhood. BeyondDC happened to be in that part of Manhattan last December, so we took the opportunity to make a quick pilgrimage. The spot is, after all, just a little bit holy.

The handful of photos we snapped are available to view.
