New York’s Smallest Piece of Private Property is 500 Square Inches | Hess Triangle

🚨😱Watch out! Stepping on this little triangle in NYC's West Village is technically trespassing!

In front of Village Cigars (on the intersection of Christopher Street & 7th Avenue) is one of the city's most legendary holdouts. In 1910 when the avenue was being widened, the city claimed eniment domain of the Hess estate. However a city worker forgot a tiny little piece of land, which David Hess refused to sell to the city for decades.

It's still private property to this day! Here's the full story.
