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 and the West Madison Stem (Madison St. just west of downtown) during the turn of the 20th century, where Dr. Ben Reitman founded the Hobo College, while in New York City it was the neighbourhood of the Bowery and Greenwich Village.^[1] It was the title of a short story by Sinclair Lewis originally published in The Saturday Evening Post, which Lewis subsequently reworked into a three act comedy which was first performed at the Greenwich Village Theatre in 1919.^[2]

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