Great facade. Love the light in the image.
a beautiful building, love this.
It seems I may have been there in a past life. ;)
Greenwich Village may be my new favorite place.
I love the building and the history. I once sat in the seat where the original Shaft sat in the movie. It was at Caffe Reggio, on MacDougal St. I had a cappuccino and a cannoli while I played his theme song in my mind. It was surprisingly entertaining.
Then I walked over and smelled the beans at the Puerto Rico Coffee Co. I think I need to head out to nyc soon. :)
What a great looking place. Has the inside changed much from 1939?
very cool facade. I didn't know it was in Mad Men. I'll have to look out for it.
Love the sign. I'm always shocked that no one has climbed up and stolen the letters. The 'E's are pretty nifty.
That's an illustrious pedigree
Great photo...I have been here--it's a great old timey place with great music.
70 years is a huge milestone for a restaurant! I'm certain they've lasted this long because of the bright red exterior! -:)))
Do they still have music?
Nice ... and I am back on the streets of NYC .. LOL
A welcoming-looking place Ken. I wonder, how's the food? - Dave
What I would give to listen to the greats; Billie Holliday, Miles, and Coltrane here.
KM,
I AM SO COMING TO NYC and you and I are going to each and every bar/diner/dive you have ever mentioned. Count on it.

You've got a great talent for finding these great looking building fronts! Keep it up!
Love the deco neon and the way your photo makes it look like it is leaping at you! I'll watch for it in movies - thanks for letting us-all breathe the air there.
Great photo!
That's the look of the NYC I remember as a kid. Very cool, homegrown and human in scale. Looks wonderful at night. Long live the Lenox Lounge
Like most old bars in Harlem, they present bottled beers to you with a bar napkin stuck in the neck.
Hello, you site is very funny he told me to cheer up .. Merry Christmas.
PRILIGY(DAPOXETINE) has been found to be safe and effective for the treatment of premature
