 The Streets of GothtownThe wonderfully creepy peeps at NewGothCity.com have designated a select area of New York City as "Gothtown" -- and even provided a map to this area:
Map of Gothtown There's certainly no denying that this area encompasses some of NYC's best "must see" shops for the gothically inclined: Gothic Renaissance, Trash & Vaudeville, Obscura Antiques & Oddities, Strand Bookstore, to name just a few. (Tower Records, sadly, is no more, but they used to be in Gothtown years ago, as well.) The area also encompasses a number of bars that feature goth nights and special events. But if this section of NYC's East Village is to be renamed "Gothtown," then wouldn't it be great if all the streets in Gothtown also had gothic-sounding names? So, I challenge the creative here to come up with better, gothic-sounding names for all those streets on Gothtown's map. Here are the streets to be renamed: 1st Avenue 2nd Avenue 3rd Avenue 4th Avenue Astor Place Avenue A Avenue B Avenue C Bleecker Street Bond Street Bowery Cooper Square East 1st Street East 2nd Street East 3rd Street East 4th Street East 5th Street East 6th Street East 7th Street East 8th Street East 9th Street East 10th Street East 11th Street East 12th Street East 13th Street Great Jones Street Lafayette Street St. Marks Place -- Nephele |

Re: The Streets of Gothtown Haha -- good ones, orlok
I would change St. Mark's Place to St. Murphy's Place, for starters. And Bleecker St. to Bleak St. And maybe Bond St. to Bondage St. -- Nephele |

Re: The Streets of Gothtown Great Jones Street = Great Bones Street
Cooper Square = Severina Square Bowery = Bowie (not Goth, but he's just awesome). Voltaire or Varney Vale? Walpole Way? Steele Street? Robert Smith Row? Melancholy Mews? Lachrymose Lane? In homage to The Munsters we need a Mockingbird Lane (and I have first call on house number 1313 )._________________ Minty's Mumblings Aka: Elodie Eulie SeaMajic... thank you Nephele (see here).
