James Dean spent the remaining years of his life in New York City. There he lived, loved, studied, explored and suffered. As a professional actor, New York's melting pot was fodder for creativity and James Dean exploited her teaming masses to fuel his art. His work in television and theatre in this great city eventually lead him to the greener pastures of Hollywood.

James Dean Is Not Dead is proud to present a tour guide of James Dean's New York. This map includes several locations of interest to James Dean fans: where he lived, where he worked, where he studied and where he socialized. Some of these places are no longer in existence, and New York City has changed quite a bit since James Dean's last visit. But we hope that it will prove to be a helpful guide to all James Dean fans who come to New York and wish to stand in that very spot James Dean once stood.
