Manhattan: Don’t Light Up on Gay Street

By Nadine | July 1, 2008

Gay Street in Greenwich Village is the city’s shortest street — it’s one block long and kind of private, snug between Christopher St and Waverly Place. Little did I know until I read the July 1, 2008 New York Times that Gay Street is the place to go to build up an appetite.

I’ve been to the Waverly Diner — not to be confused, EVER, with the Waverly Inn — all my life, but I had no idea I could have had a pre-dinner spliff a mere 1/2 blocks away. And now it’s too late.

The cops hang around Gay Street because pot busts are like shooting fish in a barrel (is that the right cliche?). Randy Credico, who lives on Gay Street and is a comedian and free speech warrior, is now in trouble with the police because he warns strollers not to light up, thus messing with the local precinct’s bust numbers. Here’s the link to his story and to a video where he explains everything. (That’s Mr. Credico on the job from a frame in the video.)
