One of the greatest American authors of his time, John Steinbeck moved to 330 East 51st Street in 1943, only four years after the publication of his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “The Grapes of Wrath.” It was at this 1899 brick townhouse that he wrote “Cannery Row;” at the time he was working as a war correspondent for the “New York Herald Tribune.” After traveling extensively during the late ’40s, Steinbeck moved back to New York in 1951 and lived at 206 East 72nd Street until his death in 1968.
