Hobohemia

Hobohemia is a low rent district in a city where artistic bohemians and the down-and-outs or hobos mix. In Chicago this was Tower Town while in New York City it was the neighbourhood of the Bowery and Greenwich Village.[1] HOBOHEMIA is also the name of the album by songwriter Simon Scardanelli, released in 2005.[2]

A reference appears in the Rodgers and Hart song The Lady is a Tramp: "My Hobohemia is the place to be."[1]
