Celebrating the weird origin story of the iconic Hess Triangle, the smallest piece of real estate in NYC (and perhaps world) history, on the day of its 100th anniversary
Celebrating the weird origin story of the iconic Hess Triangle, the smallest piece of real estate in NYC history, on the day of its 100th anniversaryOne hundred years ago today, one of the weirdest and wildest pieces of New York City lore, the Hess Triangle, was born.
Property owners were upset, including the Hess Estate, which owned an apartment building called The Voorhis at what is now the corner of Seventh Avenue South and Christopher Street. Reluctantly, they ceded their property to City Hall. But then, the city made a crucial mistake that would eventually lead to the creation of this iconic relic of old New York.
After 16 years, the Hess Triangle was sold to the neighboring property, which is now Village Cigars, and has subsequently changed hands. Despite that, the lore has only grown over the decades, with locals and tourists alike stopping by all the time to admire the Hess Triangle, or ask the local store clerks about the strange shape on the sidewalk.
