For years there was a warehouse of some kind, maybe it was a garage, that was next to the Hell's Angels New York Headquarters on 3rd St. between 1 & 2 Ave. The Angels have been there at least 20 years or more and occupy the entire building. Just this past year the garage or whatever it was next door to them was torn down and in it's place was built a NYU Law School Dorm!

My sister used to live across the street from the Angels' HQ around '90 or '91. Contrary to first expectations, they were a great crowd to have nearby, and actually added to the sense of community. One of the safest blocks in the area, and they would host open block parties on the street in the summer. I met a couple of em one time and they were just cool cats, digging on sickles, beer, and fun. Since a few of them were always hanging out outside, if they knew you they'd be real friendly, or even do things like watch your car while you doubleparked to run in and get something. I was afraid you were gonna say their place got torn down! But anyway, it actually does seem like a sensible spot for a dorm.

Apologies for extending a tangent from the topic.
