Geocache Description:

A cache on a funky NYC street. GPS reception might be spotty. Stealth required...muggle heavy.


For rock and roll aficionados and geocachers alike. This is the second in a series of caches I've created that will bring you to an iconic rock & roll album cover site location around NYC. This one is from a Led Zeppelin album cover. Their 6th studio album. From wikipedia: "The album's sleeve design features a photograph of a New York City tenement block, with interchanging window illustrations. The album designer, Peter Corriston, was looking for a building that was symmetrical with interesting details, that was not obstructed by other objects and would fit the square album cover."

When searching for the cache, you should see the two five-story buildings photographed for the album cover. 

This is the center of the East Village, and those who have not, should take a stroll over to Astor Place and spin the cube. There's also plenty of NYC Bikeshare stations nearby.

The street, and area has certainly changed since the album came out, and the subsequent heydey of the punk era.
