Video artist Nelson Sullivan went everywhere and filmed just about everything in New York City in the 1980s. In this recently uploaded video from the 5 Ninth Avenue Project — the NYU-run YouTube channel that is digitizing and releasing the vast archives of Sullivan's videos — watch as the artist documents a walk from Washington Square, through Astor PLace and St. Marks Place, to Avenue A in the East Village.
It's a beautiful day to enjoy the scenery between Washington Square and the East Village around Avenue A. Nelson Sullivan made this video on July 28, 1985
