Helen Adam (December 2, 1909 in Glasgow, Scotland – September 19, 1993 in New York City) was a Scottish poet, collagist and photographer who was part of a literary movement contemporaneous to the Beat Generation that occurred in San Francisco during the 1950s and 1960s.
 Though often associated with the Beat poets, she would more accurately be considered one of the predecessors of the Beat Generation.
Harry Everett Smith (May 29, 1923 in Portland, Oregon – November 27, 1991 in New York City) was a visual artist, experimental filmmaker, record collector, bohemian, mystic, and largely self-taught student of anthropology.
 Smith was an important figure in the Beat Generation scene in New York City, and his activities, such as his use of mind-altering substances and interest in esoteric spirituality, anticipated aspects of the Hippie movement.
 Besides his films, Smith is widely known for his influential "Anthology of American Folk Music", drawn from his extensive collection of out-of-print commercial 78 rpm recordings.
Frederick William "Fred" McDarrah (November 5, 1926 – November 6, 2007) was an American staff photographer for "The Village Voice" and an author.
 He became famous for documenting the cultural phenomenon known as the Beat Generation from its inception in the 1950s.
 In his book "The Artist's World in Pictures", co-authored with Thomas B. Hess, McDarrah documented the New York art world, the New York School and the world of Abstract expressionism in New York City during the late 1950s.
Chumley's is a historic pub and former speakeasy at 86 Bedford Street between Grove and Barrow Streets in the West Village neighborhood of Greenwich Village, Manhattan, New York City.
 It was established in 1922 by the socialist activist Leland Stanford Chumley, who converted a former blacksmith's shop near the corner of Bedford and Barrow Streets into a Prohibition-era drinking establishment.
 The speakeasy became a favorite spot for influential writers, poets, playwrights, journalists, and activists, including members of the Lost Generation and the Beat Generation movements.
John Cohen (born August 2, 1932, in Queens, New York) is a founding member of the New Lost City Ramblers as well as a musicologist, photographer and filmmaker.
 Some of his best known images document the Abstract Expressionist scene centered on New York's Cedar Bar; gallery happenings by early performance artists; young Bob Dylan's arrival in New York; Beat Generation writers during the filming of Robert Frank and Alfred Leslie's film "Pull My Daisy"; and the "old time" musicians of Appalachia.
 (The title of Cohen's 1962 film, "High Lonesome Sound", has become synonymous with that music.)
 He has been one of the most important "discoverers" of traditional musicians and singers, finding and recording Dillard Chandler, Roscoe Holcomb, and many banjo players, most notably on the album "High Atmosphere".
The culture of New York City is reflected in its size and ethnic diversity.
 Many American cultural movements first emerged in the city.
 The Harlem Renaissance established the African-American renaissance in the United States.
 Large numbers of Italian Americans and Jews emigrated to New York throughout the twentieth century, significantly influencing the culture and image of New York City.
 American modern dance developed in New York in the early 20th century.
 The city was the top venue for jazz in the 1940s, expressionism in the 1950s and home to hip hop, punk rock, and the Beat Generation.
Michael McClure (born October 20, 1932) is an American poet, playwright, songwriter, and novelist.
 After moving to San Francisco as a young man, he found fame as one of the five poets (including Allen Ginsberg) who read at the famous San Francisco Six Gallery reading in 1955 rendered in barely fictionalized terms in Jack Kerouac's "The Dharma Bums".
 He soon became a key member of the Beat Generation and is immortalized as "Pat McLear" in Kerouac's "Big Sur".
BookWars is an award-winning independent film from New York City by Jason "Jack RO" Rosette  produced by Camerado, about the life and times of New York City street booksellers.
 Made on an ultra-low budget in a jazzy, impressionistic style reminiscent of the films of Robert Frank and poetry of the Beat Generation, "BookWars" is the only first-person documentary made during then-New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's controversial "Quality of Life" campaign, which sought to limit and control individuals engaged in informal economic activities on the streets of New York City.
