This is a disgusting generation. It's a disgusting time to live in. It's boring," says Alexandra Lynn, who is 15 going on 25, as she languidly smokes a cigarette with a gaggle of similarly jaded teens in Greenwich Village's Washington Square Park on a sultry Wednesday night. "The '90s is an exhausted decade. There's nothing to look for, and nowhere to go. This generation really hasn't got any solid ground. I mean, the '60s had solid ground, but that's gone...
...Manhattan looking so prosperous. Somebody planted petunias in huge hangers up and down the street-lamps of 34th Street. Lower Sixth Avenue is a refurbished shoppers mecca. And in place of the old, ugly little traffic-island cum death trap on the corner of my tiny three-block long Greenwich Village street sits a new, brilliantly designed safe and elegant little garden. There are still homeless people sleeping in Abingdon Square, but someone has planted cosmos-flowers there too. I've never seen such things outside Vermont.

The show spills onto the streets of Greenwich Village, where a woman in a sun hat looks up at the high-rise where reputed Mob boss Vincent ("the Chin") Gigante, the Oddfather who roamed the streets in his bathrobe, was her most famous neighbor...
...swollen feet and tell lies, and talk about the days before pink hair and nose rings, residents were split as to whether the Chin is faking his near coma. But they agreed that wearing a bathrobe on the street pushes neither the fashion nor the mental-health envelope in Greenwich Village. There is universal love for Gigante's late mother Yolanda. "She was cooking, cooking, all the time cooking," says a neighbor. "She'd give me a hug and talk in Italian, and I'd just nod. I'm Jewish." Asked for her name, she slowly backs away...
