Pfaff's beer cellar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

'"The Vault at Pfaff's where the drinkers and laughers meet to eat and drink and carouse / While on the walk immediately overhead pass the myriad feet of Broadway" - Walt Whitman

Charles Pfaff's beer cellar, located at 653 Broadway in New York City, is best-known for being the watering-hole of choice for a group of bohemian writers and artists from 1859-1870. Writers for Vanity Fair and the Saturday Press met there.

Habitués included Henry Clapp, Walt Whitman, Fitz Hugh Ludlow, and George Arnold.
