It looked like 1958, as Jane Jacobs’s “Stroller Brigade” invaded Washington Square Park once again last week as they prepared to protest Robert Moses’ plan to run a sunken roadway through the park. It was actually for an episode of the Amazon series “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” about a woman with a staid Upper East Side life who gets adventurous and becomes a stand-up comic in Greenwich Village.
