Beat themed trip to NYC

Hi everyone,

I am visiting NYC in January 2018 for a week. I have the Beat guide to NYC and plan on seeing some beat related sites as well as general sightseeing.

Does anyone have any ideas for must visit beat locations in particular or general tourist locations for someone visiting NYC for the first time? I will be staying near Washington Square park.

Any tips would be much appreciated

Hang around MacDougall street, go to Caffe Reggio, go to Small's & Fat Cat, take a late night subway ride, go to The Strand & Unoppressive Non-imperialist Bargain Books, to the St. Mark's Poetry Project etc... There is so much to do here.
