When i looked at that Toronto thread yesterday, i thought to myself "how could she have ever left Greenwich Village for that neighborhood?" Your photos have left with me with more questions than answers. Love the Village!

"Dazzled by the needles of light stitching the water, I turned to watch him watch them. I noticed his eyelashes were reflected in his eyes, like awning in windowpanes. As I tried to make sense of that reflection, I found I could not look away. His irises were brown, clouding into orange with brighter flecks around his pupils. Then it became as important not to look as to look, I feared I would be lost in rush of bronze motes."
Greenwich Village definitely doesn't feel like it looks in photos, especially once you walk into it from north or south. I love the lighting in the pictures, it reflects the ambiance of the way it was when I was there last.
I bought a bottle of Old Crow there in January, behind a rather pricey wine purchase, and didn't get a second look. Then gave it to a man (a man who looked of the neighborhood, not necessarily the street) on the street. Not saying its the same as in Jacobs time, but its not dead yet...or at least in the dead of winter when they are where its warm.
