Taverns, Part of Yorkville's Street Life Lore

My Dad's best friend, Walter Trusits, is fourth from the left wearing the hat in this 1945 photo taken by Dad in front of Gene's Tavern. Second photo, last month, Walter with Charlie standing in the same spot at the northeast corner of 84 St. & York Avenue.

The photos below go back to 1942 and reflect the bar culture inside the neighborhood's street life through the early1970s.
