Amidst the busy downtown Manhattan streets, in the heart of Greenwich Village, lies Bleecker Street. Many notable musicians such as Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen, Kool & the Gang, Billy Joel, and Etta James, all spent their early careers in the numerous live music venues on Bleecker Street.
The venues are still up and serving soul to the ears (and alcohol to the brain!) every night.
