How did a gated collection of tiny Tudor homes end up amid the colossal apartment buildings of the Upper West Side?
This Alice in Wonderland–like enclave was built in 1921 by an Ireland-born nightclub baron.
He wanted the street to look like the set of a popular romantic comedy, Pomander Walk, which was set in 1805 London.
Called Pomander Walk, naturally, the private alley features 20 tiny homes facing each other across a walkway running from 94th to 95th Street and bounded by West End Avenue and Broadway.
A thick iron gate makes it difficult to get a photo of the homes inside, which are fronted by lovely gardens.
