The Great Hoboes of New York is produced by young men and women whose art, writing and mindset have been influenced by the Bowery and Lower East Side of the greatest city in the world. It has grown steadily over the past three years. What started as a lone writer's site has grown to present the creations of over thirty individuals. We work as a collective to bring you the best in fiction, poetry, art, comics, and commentary from our ever-expanding circle of colleagues. Our readership is growing, too - Over 16,000 pages are read almost every month! Some recent months have featured of 20,000+ pages! Thank you! We are so glad that so many folks from so many different places check out what we do. Our site is now visited by readers from New York, New England, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Poland, Italy, Greece, Mexico, Belize, Sweden, Switzerland, Iceland, Japan, and the Netherlands. Most of our readers seem to find us by word of mouth, so please tell your friends, and most importantly, tell us what you love and hate about the site. We're proud to bring a little touch of the Lower East Side to the rest of the world. Check back frequently to see new material, and learn about Hobo-sponsored events!
