Description :
Since the 1950s the Café Wha? has been a favorite hot spot cornered in the heart of Greenwich Village. The Café Wha? encompassed the Beat Generation and continues to hold tight to its spirit, entertaining all walks of life.
It has long been known to be a sanctuary for talent: the cafe was the original stomping ground for prodigies Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix. Bruce Springsteen, Peter, Paul & Mary, Kool & The Gang, as well as comedians Richard Pryor and Bill Cosby all began their road to stardom on this historic stage. Even Allen Ginsberg regularly sipped cocktails here.
Today, the Café Wha? showcases amazing talent with the three greatest house bands in New York City: Brazooka, Disfunktion and the Cafe Wha House Band. It is not unusual for a famous musician will show up and sit in with one of these incredible bands. |
