Bedford Street
runs west off Seventh Avenue to become one of the quietest and most desir-
able Village addresses. Edna St Vincent Millay, the young poet and playwright, lived at no.
75 1/2. At only 9ft wide, it is one of the narrowest houses in the city. The brick and clap-
board structure next door at no. 77 is the
Isaacs-Hendricks House
, built in 1799 and the
oldest house in the Village. The building at no. 90, right on the corner of Grove Street
(above the
Little Owl
), served as the exterior for Monica's apartment in
Friends
, though the
TV series was shot entirely in L.A. studios. Opposite is 17 Grove Street, built in 1822 and
one of the most complete wood-frame houses in the city.
