The site, above, on MacDougall Street where the famed Figaro Cafe was once located. |
...This Is Now
Across the street, the equally well-known Cafe Borgia was located. |
The Riviera Cafe, at 6th Avenue and Christopher Street, hasn't changed. It was a favourite lunch spot, with friends and family. |
At 6th Avenue and Christopher Street, the site of old Village Voice when Norman Mailer and other writers of that period wrote for it. |
Just a few doors from Village Voice corner, the site of the old Lion's Head Restaurant. |
Below was the deli owned by Mr Camacho, who also owned the building. We'd pay rent to him, while buying cigarettes and other supplies. My brand was Gitanes bout filtres. |
Incredibly, the deli sign is still there, though the deli area is a chi-chi gift shop. |
