Subway Inn on East 60th Street near Lexington Avenue was where Marilyn, in between takes of “The Seven Year Itch” dropped in for drinks. Many photos and paintings of Marilyn lined the back walls of the historic bar.
Sadly in 2007, the building which houses Subway Inn was sold to a developer for $6.3 million and the bar was eventually forced to move to Second Ave and the building was torn down to make way for a luxury condo.
Our photo of the original Subway Inn and interview with the long-time bartender Rodney Williams, appears in our book “New York Nights”.
