At one time, writer William S. Burroughs was a resident of a partially-converted YMCA at 222 Bowery. The friend who took over the apartment after Burroughs' death kept the space mostly intact, and Gothamist has a video and a slideshow featuring, among other things, Burroughs' shoes. You probably won't be surprised by the apartment's nickname of "The Bunker." [Gothamist]
