  -- "a permanent crash pad for folk singers, including Dylan", scene of jam sessions with the Greenbriar Boys and Ramblin' Jack Elliott, as witnessed by Scottish folksinger Jean Redpath:

  ...Bob and Evelyne Beers drove through Philly and stopped to see Ken [Goldstein] and Rochelle and discovering that I was thinking of going to New York, said, "If you're headed for New York, we'll give you a ride." So they gave me a ride to the city, and they took me to Miki Isaacson's apartment in Greenwich Village. It was a Thursday afternoon and we walked in on a jam session with Dylan, Jack Elliott and the Greenbriar Boys, who were working at Gerde's at the time.
