Cafe Colonial and Keith Haring

As usual, I was looking through some old photos, searching for something else, when I came across one I'd totally forgotten.

This is - er, was - Cafe Colonial, on the SE corner of Houston and Elizabeth Streets.  Reflected in the window is a Keith Haring mural which was up briefly in the Fall of 2008.  Both are now gone.

  2. I love this photo-Keith Haring was great. So was Stephen Sprouse. I remember wearing Stephen Sprouse's magnetic blue leggings with a tee shirt. That was very EV back in the day.

  3. This is a fantastic photo. Already seems like 50 years ago.
