Happy belated birthday to the legendary CBGB

Happy belated birthday to the legendary CBGB which opened on the Bowery on December 10th in 1973. CBGB became known as the birthplace of American punk rock, giving groups such as Television, The Ramones, Patti Smith, and Blondie their start. 🎶 

This iconic #club lost its lease and closed in 2006 and a John Varvatos clothing store took over the former #storefront of CBGB but preserved some of the original graffiti-covered walls of CBGB and even the newer bathroom 🚽in the store has a nod to its infamous graffiti past. 

Our photo of CBGB appears in our book “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York”.
