The Latin Quarter


From Burlyqnell's Tumblr blog.  Her description:

"Latin Quarter: vintage postcard
The NYC club was located at 1580 Broadway at 4th Street. The wedge-shaped building faced in on Times Square and was as famous for the iconic Coca-a-cola sign that hung on it, as for the popular nightclub it housed. The club was so successful, that Lou went on to open Latin Quart clubs in several other cities, but he left the business in the 1950s."
(Trivia Note:  The proprietor, Lou Walters, was Baba Wawa's father. )
