Retracing Jack Kerouac

2911 Broadway, Morningside Heights, New York

A regular hangout for Kerouac and the other Beats in the mid- to end 1940’s, and quite a few stories to be told taking place in here. Kerouac getting into fights, being rolled down Broadway in a barrel by Lucien Carr (presumably after having one too many drinks in here), and Allen Ginsberg meeting Neal and LuAnne Cassady for the first time.
