84th Street and Broadway

Something I learned last week: Edgar Allan Poe used to live on 84th Street (also known as Edgar Allan Poe street), and at his old address, there’s now a café, which has kind of a dark, Parisian vibe and would be nice to duck into for coffee one afternoon when it’s raining on the Upper West Side. I make a note and add it to my files. (“If you wish to forget anything on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered.” —Edgar Allan Poe)
