Village Cigars

Village Cigars has been in business in Greenwich Village since 1922. We absolutely love this iconic #storefront and chose it as the cover image for our book “Store Front II- A History Preserved”. Not only is the storefront unique in that it is triangular in shape, but its sidewalk out front bears a special plaque marking the location of the Hess Triangle, which at 500-square inches was once the smallest piece of private land in NYC. The former owner of Village Cigars bought the 500-square inch property from the Hess estate for $1,000 in 1938 and kept the plaque and the small piece of New York history.

Signed Prints of our photo of Village Cigars are available at our Store Front Photography Exhibition at @villageworksnyc including archival 11x14 inch for $119 and 11x14 inch mounted & framed in white letterbox frame for $199. (Swipe left for 2nd photo showing framed prints). Larger limited edition prints up to 48 inches width are also available upon request.
