BOB DYLAN'S APT

This was Bob Dylan's first apartment in New York City. It's no wonder why he chose this location! Again, back in the 60's, this area was a cultural Mecca and the rent on this tiny first floor apartment was insanely cheap... just $60 dollars a month.

Bob Dylan only lived here for about a year and a half, but these were some of the most prolific months of his entire career, and he was just a short walk from the legendary Cafe Wha? that we visited earlier.

Just a few months after moving in, Bob met and started dating visual artist Suze Rotolo. Aside from being a painter and sculptor, she was an avid political activist and was deeply involved in the civil rights movement of the time. This had a tremendous influence on Dylan's early work.

Their relationship began to deteriorate in 1963, partly due to the pressures of Dylan's rising fame. But it is forever immortalized as a picture on the cover of Bob Dylan's second album. The location of which is just around the corner.
