St Mark's in the Bowery
CHURCH
Though it's most popular with East Village locals for its cultural offerings - such as po-
etry readings hosted by the Poetry Project or cutting-edge dance performances by
Danspace and the Ontological Hysteric Theater - this is also a historic site. This Episcopal
church stands on the site of the farm, or
bouwerie,
owned by Dutch Governor Peter
Stuyvesant, whose crypt lies under the grounds.
