A project aimed at identifying and describing the historical traces and current presence of Spaniards and Spanish culture in New York.  In this phase of the project, we focus on the area between Broadway and the Hudson River, and between Houston and West 23.

Information about a site can be found by clicking on the landmark on the map, or by using the pulldown menus of the tabs (NYU and environs, West 14 St/Chelsea, West Village). For more information about the project, click here.

We the participants in the undergraduate seminar “Spain in New York” (College of Arts and Science, New York University, Spring, 2011) have created this website, to showcase the research we have conducted on the presence of Spaniards and Spanish culture in New York, past and present. The seminar was led by Professor James D. Fernández (far right).

We have focused on the area between Broadway and the Hudson River, from Houston Street to  23rd Street, a district which, as you will see if you poke around these pages, is particularly rich in historic traces and current examples of Spanish culture in New York.
