Grove Court

Grove Court is a place in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, New York City. It is the address of six townhouses built off Grove Street, at the section where the street makes a bend. The bend marked property division during the Colonial period.

The six townhouses were built by Samuel Cocks in the empty passage between Nos. 10 and 12, Grove Street, partly because he hope it would drive business to his shop at No. 18.

Although highly prized today, when it was built, residential courts were considered rather low class, so much so that the place earned the nickname "Mixed Ale Alley".

How to reach Grove Court

Take the 1 train to Christopher Street/Sheridan Square subway station. Walk west along Grove Street. After Bedford Street, it makes a bend. Grove Court is on the south side of the bend. You can see it through the small gate, with a sign saying "Private Court". The courtyard looks quite comfortable.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
