75½ Bedford Street

75½ Bedford Street is said to be the narrowest house in New York City. It is located in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, built over a passageway. As such, it is a mere nine-and-one-half feet wide. Squeezed between Nos. 74 and 75, it was given the reasonable address of 75½. Makes senses, doesn't it?

The house was built in 1893, and rises to three storeys in height. Quite a number of famous people have lived here, including the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay and the actor John Barrymore (grandfather of actress Drew), and even Cary Grant.

In order that people know how important this house happens to be, there is now a red plaque on its wall.

How to reach 75½ Bedford Street

Take the 1 train to Christopher Street/Sheridan Square subway station. Then walk south along 7th Avenue South until you reach the intersection with Bedford Street. Turn right, walk north along Bedford Street and you will come upon 75½ Bedford Street on your left.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
