Bill Hicks' Apartment (former)

The stand up comedian, who had a George Carlin type of stand up, and passed away in 1994 at the age of 32 of cancer, lived here. His first apartment after moving to New York City in 1988 was at 29 Avenue B near the corner of East 3rd Street. In a postcard to his brother Steve, the acerbic stand-up described apartment 3F as “a studio, but rather large, with a full bath and full kitchen. It’s a new building with an elevator and laundromat. What a find.”
