This street contains some attractive 19th Century townhouses and facilities of St. Vincent’s Hospital. The hospital tore down some of its own very, very handsome, Georgian-style buildings on this block as well as the major movie palace of Greenwich Village, the Loew’s Sheridan, whose interior was depicted in a famous painting by Edward Hopper, across Seventh Avenue between 12th Street and Greenwich Avenue. The movie theater was replaced with a truck loading area and some plantings.

There is an entrance to the express subway station at the Seventh Avenue corner at 12th Street.

This is a good location that is close to many restaurants and stores and some of the most charming blocks in Greenwich Village. The New School for Social Research is one block to the east and P. S. 41, one of the city’s best public schools is at 11th Street and the Avenue of the Americas across from the city’s best "Ray’s Pizza" and across the avenue from the Jefferson Market food store.

The putty-colored brick buildings have 5-step stoops and fire-escapes and nice cornices. The buildings have gardens and nice window surrounds and fire-escapes. They have no health club, no doormen, no garage and no canopied entrances.
