Cafe Wha, a photo from New York, Northeast

Photographer's Note

As I was walking from Washington square Park to catch the train, saw this cafe.

About this cafe from wikipedia:

Cafe Wha? is a club in Greenwich Village in Manhattan, New York City that has been home to various musicians and comedians. Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen, The Velvet Underground, Cat Mother & the All Night Newsboys, Kool and the Gang, Peter, Paul & Mary, Woody Allen, Lenny Bruce, Joan Rivers, Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor, and many others all began their careers at the Wha?, according to the official Cafe Wha? web page. Although Cafe Wha? was sold by its owner, Manny Roth, in 1988, the club remains at its original location, 115 Macdougal Street, between Bleecker and West 3rd Streets. Roth is the uncle of David Lee Roth.

The exterior is shown in the 1967 movie The President's Analyst.

Bonjour Lakshmi,

J'aime bien le côté très beatnick de l'endroit. Ce n'est pas la beauté de l'extérieur qui compte mais le spectacle à l'intérieur que vous n'oublierez jamais.

Amicalement

Serge

Hello Laksmi

A good daily life street scene of the nightclub & cafe / bar during daylight hours. Superb sharpness with good color & saturation. The man at left animates the scene. The yellow & orange contrast well against the blue. Tfs!
