ABOUT LEONARD ABRAMS: The East Village Eye was a cultural magazine, published by editor-in-chief Leonard Abrams, in circulation from May, 1979 until January, 1987. Based in the East Village section of New York City, the publication covered a range of locally focused topics, including art, politics and gentrification.[1] The East Village Eye, colloquially referred to as The Eye, covered topics such as the emergence of punk rock, hip-hop and fashion as fringe pop culture, as well as the burgeoning art and nightlife scenes that highlighted NYC's East Village neighborhood during the 1980s.[2] The paper represented a confluence of popular culture, leftist politics and the artistically innovative. ►more
