Pomander Walk, New York City, NY, USA

A bit of old England in New York City

 

 

"This Alice in Wonderland–like enclave was built in 1921 by an Ireland-born nightclub baron. He wanted the street to look like the set of a popular romantic comedy, Pomander Walk, which was set in 1805 London. Called Pomander Walk, naturally, the private alley features 20 tiny homes facing each other across a walkway running from 94th to 95th Street and bounded by West End Avenue and Broadway. A thick iron gate makes it difficult to get a photo of the homes inside, which are fronted by lovely gardens." (Ephemeral New York)
