CLUB REMEMBERING :
Max's Kansas City was located at Park Avenue on 17th Street and a key club in Manhattan in terms of the acts who either directly influenced the nascent US punk scene or became part of it. The downstairs restaurant was the melting point of cutting edge culture including rock, painting, poetry, fashion and photography. The upstairs disco was converted to performance space where Iggy, New York Dolls, Patti Smith Wayne County and Television all played. The backroom downstairs was immortalised in Lou Reeds Walk On The Wild Side. Blondie's Deborah Harry was once a waitress there. Now a deli. :(
