'''Bleecker Street''' is an east–west street in [[Lower Manhattan]], [[New York City]]. It is most famous today as a [[Greenwich Village]] [[nightlife|nightclub district]]. The street connects a neighborhood popular today for music venues and [[comedy]] as well as an important [[gay village|center]] of [[LGBT history]] and [[LGBT culture |culture]] and [[Bohemianism|bohemian tradition]]. The street is named after the family name of [[Anthony Lispenard Bleecker]], a banker, the father of [[Anthony Bleecker]], a 19th-century writer, through whose family farm the street once ran.

Bleecker Street connects [[Abingdon Square]] (the intersection of [[Eighth Avenue (Manhattan)|Eighth Avenue]] and [[Hudson Street (Manhattan)|Hudson Street]]) in the [[West Village, Manhattan|West Village]], to the [[Bowery]] in the [[East Village, Manhattan|East Village]] and [[NoHo]].

==History==
[[File:Leroy Place, Greenwich Village, New York City.jpg|thumb|left|LeRoy Place, south side of Bleecker Street, drawn in 1831. After 1852, the economic status of the area declined and these aristocratic buildings were all demolished by 1875.]]

Bleecker Street was named by and after the [[Anthony Lispenard Bleecker|Bleecker family]] because the street ran through the family's farm.<ref>{{cite streetbook|page=29}}</ref> In 1808, [[Anthony Lispenard Bleecker]] and his wife deeded to the city a major portion of the land on which Bleecker Street sits.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1945/11/18/archives/many-titles-in-village-area-traced-back-to-old-ownerships-admiral.html |last=Crane |first=Frank W. |title=Many Titles in 'Village' Area Traced Back to Old Ownerships; Admiral Warren, Who Gave Greenwich Its Name, and Aaron Burr Appear Frequently&nbsp;– Trinity and Rhinelanders Big Holders |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=November 18, 1945 |department=Real Estate |page=121 |quote=It was Anthony Bleecker, one of the most prominent members of the family, who with his wife deeded to the city the greater part of Bleecker Street in 1808.}}</ref>

Originally Bleecker Street extended from Bowery to Broadway, along the north side of the Bleecker farm, later as far west as [[Sixth Avenue (Manhattan)|Sixth Avenue]]. In 1829 it was joined with Herring Street, extending Bleecker Street north-northwest to Abingdon Square.

===LeRoy Place===
[[File:LeRoy Place 2024 jeh.jpg|thumb|LeRoy Place in 2024]]

LeRoy Place is the former name of a block of Bleecker Street between Mercer and Greene Streets. This was where the first palatial "winged residences" were built. The effect was accomplished by making the central houses taller and closer to the street, while the other houses on the side were set back. The central buildings also had bigger, raised entrances and lantern-like roof projections. The houses were built by Isaac A. Pearson, on both sides of Bleecker Street. To set his project apart from the rest of the area, Pearson convinced the city to rename this block of the street after the prominent international trader Jacob LeRoy.<ref>{{cite book |title=Around Washington Square: an Illustrated History of Greenwich Village |first=Luther S. |last=Harris |publisher=[[Johns Hopkins University Press]] |date=2003 |isbn=0-8018-7341-X |page=83}}</ref><ref>{{cite gotham}}, p. 459</ref><ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1914/11/22/archives/changing-types-in-city-dwellings-statuary-marble-mantels-indicated.html "Changing Types of City Dwellings: Statuary Marble Mantels Indicated the Fashionable Home of Former Age"] ''The New York Times'' (November 22, 1914)</ref><ref>[http://www.nypl.org/research/chss/spe/art/print/exhibits/movingup/labelii.htm "LeRoy Place"] ''Moving Uptown'', New York Public Library exhibition</ref>{{clear left}}
