	Astor Place (Manhattan) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Astor arrived in New York in 1783, and progressed to the point where he became the richest person in the United States at that time, and one of New York City's most famous sons.

	Astor Place Riot
		The Astor Place Riot, one of the bloodiest days in New York's history, had its roots in a banal squabble between two arrogant actors.
		An attempt by Macready to play Macbeth at the Astor place Opera House on May 7, 1849 proved unsuccessful, as he was driven from the stage by an unruly crowd throwing, as he later cataloged, "eggs of doubtful purity, potatoes, a bottle of pungent and nauseating asafetida, old shoes, and a copper coin."
		They marched back down on Broadway and turned again into Astor Place, but the crowd was so thick and belligerent that they were forced to proceed in single file, squeezing themselves between the building and the mob.

	Barbara Foley, "From Wall Street to Astor Place: Historicizing Melville’s 'Bartleby'"
		The Astor Place riot of 1849, I hypothesize, provides a covert historical subtext—one that is denied not so much by the narrator as by the author himself.
		What the debate over Astor’s “right” to his millions reveals is that the critique of great wealth was inextricably tied to the critique of land ownership; the capitalist and the landlord were closely linked in the radical imaginary of the 1840s and 1850s.
		Living in the posh area around Astor Place, Melville was dwelling in the shadow of Grace Church—in more senses than one—at the moment when the Episcopal diocese’s financial and moral affairs were figuring prominently in the newspapers that he habitually read.

	THE ASTOR PLACE RIOT
		One of the worst disasters in the history of the theatre took place May 10, 1849 at the Astor Place Opera House.
		We have stated that the original cause of riot and bloodshed were the grossly insulting speeches of Macready, particularly the one delivered in the Astor Place Opera House, on the 25th of October.
		Bennett--stranger--came, as he said, from young Astor and other names of the first, he said, to say that this should be resisted, and to convey to me the expression of their regret, etc. I was not quite sure of my man. Gould came, when they were gone, in great distress, having heard all from Duyckirck.

	Astor Place by Gwathmey Siegel - Page 11 - Wired New York Forum
		The tone of Astor Place is set by places like Cooper Union, the Public Theatre, and the gargantuan former Wanamaker store on Broadway: heavy, brawny blocks of masonry that sit foursquare on the ground.
		Yesterday morning, the cube was back in its rightful place, a neighborhood totem on a traffic island that has long served as a meeting point and as a big toy that passers-by stumbling out of nearby bars could spin.
		For decades, this place was a void, a parking lot, a blight upon the neighborhood.
