(He would later say that returning to his old haunts was "stupid." It wasn't the same, and his privacy was gone.) And yet, even after he had bought a house in Malibu, Calif., and spent considerable free time on the West Coast, occasionally he still would return to the Village. He returned to the Village in the late 1960s, buying a handsome townhouse at 94 MacDougal, across the street from another Village coffeehouse, Caffe Dante, which is still there.

Hanging out As he became more famous, Dylan spent more time in upstate New York, where he owned property.
The White Horse remains where it opened in 1880 as a longshoremen's bar, a far cry from the bohemian associations that later brought it fame. Another Dylan hangout was the White Horse Tavern (567 Hudson St.), where Dylan and Rotolo enjoyed listening to the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem perform Irish rebel songs. From there, it was a photo taken on the short walk to Jones Street that formed the backdrop of the iconic cover of Dylan's second album, "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan."

In nice weather it's the perfect place to sit outside, nursing a cappuccino while watching the Village scenery play out. Several of the coffeehouses that were around when Dylan first came to the Village are still here too, such as cozy and laid-back Caffe Reggio (119 MacDougal). In the height of the folk boom, Washington Square Park, a short hike from MacDougal, hosted Sunday afternoon gatherings where Dylan and others would come to listen to music. It was on MacDougal where Dylan played his first coffeehouse gig at Cafe Wha? (115 MacDougal) before performing at the subterranean Gaslight Cafe (soon to open again as an artists' hangout called 116, at 116 MacDougal). From this starting point, Dylan pilgrims have numerous options. A good place to start is at the corner of MacDougal and Bleecker streets.

The times they most certainly have changed since he first arrived in Manhattan from Minnesota on a snowy day in January 1961.
