REMEMBER: A HISTORIC AVENUE CIRCA 1932


Who can guess the location of this bustling corner block taken back in 1932?  Everything looks pretty much the same today except for one missing building and of course more modern cars.  Styles have changed with the cars also but some of the men's fashions are currently in vogue now.

ANSWER: Most folks uptown easily recognize this section of Lenox Avenue at 120th Street looking east.  The corner space now houses Barwawine which is doing quite well after 2 other restaurants in the past few years have come and gone.  Remember the champagne and caviar bar?
