Re: Stewart's Cafeteria and the Alcoholic Squadron

Chris,

You're confusing Calvary House with the
Calvary Mission. The Oxford Group meetings
were held at Calvary House, next to Calvary
Episcopal [21st and Park Ave. South]. The
Calvary Mission was in the "Gashouse District"
near the Bowery. Calvary House to West Village
is not a particularly taxing walk.

Hello all,

"The Calvary Mission was on East
23rd Street, between 2nd and 3rd Avenues (3
long blocks east of 5th Avenue), and ...
the Stewart's Cafeteria discussed here is
essentially at West 4th Street and 7th Avenue
(two long blocks west of 5th Avenue)"
which means "19 blocks north to south between
the two locations." This is quite a long
distance to walk just for pie and coffee.
