We watch it together, and I'm constantly hitting pause so that I can figure out where they are. Thankfully Jo is a patient woman.
Tonight we trekked down to the Village to see the real-life locales.
First up, the Music Inn on West 4th Street. This is where Midge shopped for comedy albums.
It looks exactly the same in 2019.
Next, the site of the original Gaslight Cafe, 116 Macdougal. In real life it was a "poetry cafe" that also hosted folk music acts and comedians. In the TV show it's where Midge gets her start in stand-up.
The old entrance is still there, but it's now a bar.
The interior is much smaller than depicted in the TV show.
It's nice to live in NYC. And have an adventurous spouse.
What fun! I love the show and its incredible star.
