You’ll have to shell out $16.5 million to own Allen Ginsberg’s old apartment on East Second Street (along with the building and the one next door), but you can visit one of his other former homes without paying a cent.
Last month, we invited you to sign up for The Local’s newsletter for a chance to win a tour of Ginsberg’s later digs at 437 East 12th Street. The rare sit-down in the poet’s living room of more than two decades will be hosted by his longtime assistant Bob Rosenthal, who has many a memory of the place (it doubled as his office). Turns out, a couple of our lucky winners won’t be able to make it on the evening of Aug. 7, so we’re giving you a chance to take their place. Just sign up here to get The Local’s top stories delivered to your inbox daily, and we’ll be in touch Aug. 1 if you’re a winner.
Good luck!
