Patchin Place is the name of a cul-de-sac within Greenwich Village, Manhattan, New York City. The neighborhood was developed in the mid-19th century to provide housing for the waiters working at the Brevoort Hotel along Fifth Avenue. Ailanthus trees were planted along the road to absorb the smell in the air.
Today the houses at Patchin Place are a choice address. Many writers lived here including the poet laureate John Masefield, playwright Eugene O'Neill and writer John Reed.
How to reach Patchin Place
Patchin Place is across West 10th Street from the Jefferson Market Courthouse which I also describe. Take the F, L or V train to the 6th Avenue/14th Street subway station. From there, walk south down 6th Avenue (aka Avenue of the Americas) until you reach the intersection of West 10th Street. Turn right on West 10 Street, and Patchin Place is on your right. There's a gate at its entrance.
