“We stand today on the edge of a new frontier-the frontier of the 1960s, a frontier of unknown opportunities and perils-a frontier of unfulfilled hopes and threats.” ~ John Fitzgerald Kennedy
New York Subway, Photo by Ralph Crane, 1969

The Cafe Wha?
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?
Although Cafe Wha? was sold by
its owner, Manny Roth, in 1968, 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 original Cafe Wha? opened
in 1959 and closed in the late 1960s, when the room was taken over by Menachem
Dworman, who ran the Cafe Feenjon in the location until 1987. The Feenjon
featured Israeli and Middle Eastern music. In 1987, the room was taken over by
Noam Dworman, a guitar player, who changed the room back to a rock music
format.
