Awesome Stones video on Flaming Pablum, showing the boys traipsing around the old Bowery. Rivington is in there in the form of the One Mile House (at 213 Bowery, across the street from the old Boston Post Road mile marker.)

Shot by Robert Frank, so it's nice and gritty.

James Gulliver Hancock on Bowery Boogie. 94 Rivington never looked so quaint!

Rivington Street, from the El at Allen Street, circa 1940. Shot by Roy Perry. Part of a massive trove of vintage NY newly uploaded at the Museum of the City of New York website. This is the Lower East Side section.
