I’d definitely say Barrow was West Village. What we once simply called Greenwich Village. I think it now extends from the Hudson River to about 6th Avenue. I’m no expert in Manhattan geography and the real estate agents keep changing the names of the neighborhoods. Give me Hell’s Kitchen and get rid of that bland Clinton!

Many thanks for your Manhattan info. The things I know about the Village is that there was nothing gay about Barrow when I was born. Also regarding the real estate, there was a different pronunciation - it was not 'Grenich', as now, it was called 'Green-witch' by the Irish, and the bathrooms were in the yard.

Regards,
