Greenwich Village in NYC reeks of symbolism from the art to certain buildings. 666 Greenwich is the most populated highrise in the area, a 1 minute walk to the Spotted Pig, which was revealed last year to have had a Rape Room upstairs. A block from there in a Photography/ Design Shop who’s window currently displays White Horses galloping in a huge frame. This is 2 doors down from a Public School. The next st, Christopher St. is lined with lingerie shops, sex shops, gay bars, a theatre, and various restaurants. Equinox Printing House is a couple of blocks south of there. EQUINOX. A company whose marketing speaks for itself. That location neighbors Mainstream Radio and Production companies like Viacom, Hot 97, and GETTY IMAGES.

Didnt’t Weistein also have an apartment there?

There’s a church on Carmine and Bleecker with windows coming from the basement. Twice walking by on late nights i’ve heard kids crying or screaming from the lower levels.

Doors on carmine st show that there is an obvious underground space in the area - but this is not unique to nyc.

Good stuff here.

Yes, even though times have changed, that insular, hidden feature is still present in that section of town. It's almost like a black cloak is thrown over the neighborhood and keeps secrets hidden and away from prying eyes that don't belong and, therefore, aren't allowed to see. Then every once and a while, a sound like you describe drifts out giving a hint of what horrors await in the abyss. Those children's cries are both a beacon and a warning to stay away, but this time, we will not do as bidden.

EQUINOX ... yes, wonder how they got that name. Another inside joke for those in the know. And if Weinstein didn't have an apartment there, you just know he was frequenting one of those shadowy establishments to do God knows what to God knows who. There is also the references in Eyes Wide Shut to a building with an arched window. If you look on the map I included for where Crowley resided, you'll notice an arched square called out by Google maps. Coincidence? I think not. Kubrick really was intimately involved in all the fraternal hijinks that go on and 1999 was the time to let us in on the joke.

Thanks for your reply.
