A terrible negative, but I think this bar is long gone and might make someone happy all these years later…

Photographing NYC for 25 years, six of them while driving a New York City taxi. Trying very hard to capture the city as life unfolds, meaning I never stage any of my photos! Also I am a close confidant of the immortal Dave Beckerman, (quintessential NYC photographer) and owner of the first photography blog in the known universe. View all posts by Matt Weber
The negative may be terrible but it gives the photo something special, i really like it.
Thanks!
It’s still there. It’s now called Hank’s Saloon. They now have live music on weekends. When this picture was taken, there were a few SRO’s along Atlantic Avenue. The surrounding area was a haven for hookers and drug interactions. Years back, it was a big hangout for American Indian iron workers.
