So I am staying at the St. Mark's Hotel in New York and yeah yeah, so what if the first floor rents to prostitutes by the hour, check this out:
-In the St. Mark's Hotel (formerly the Valencia Hotel) at 2 St. Mark's Street the St. Marks Ale House is the former site of The Five-Spot, long one of the city's leading jazz venues, known as a base for innovators such as Thelonius Monk. G.G. Allin also lived in the building.
-Number 4 was the Bridge Theater, associated with Yoko Ono
-number 51 was home to 51X, the gallery that broke graffiti art into the mainstream, representing artists such as Keith Haring, and Jean-Michel Basquiat
-The Led Zeppelin album Physical Graffiti features a front and back cover design that depicts the carved face buildings 98 & 96. This is the same building Keith Richards and Mick Jagger are in front of in the Rolling Stones music video "Waiting on a Friend".
