We lived on the Bowery near the St. Marks from the 60’s thru the 80’s. It was fondly nicknamed “The Itch”. Nobody dared sit in the front row because it was reserved for the “Hell’s Angels” who occupied a whole tenement on 5th St. and 1st Ave. Everyone was stoned. I remember a triple feature of “Eraserhead”, “Freaks”, and at midnight “El Topo” ( or El Poto"). After the show we staggred out and had cabbage soup at the Kiev. Those were the days.
