A minor #klezmer musician I'm researching tonight, Irving Nazer (born c.1885 in Lemberg/Lviv, died 1945 in NYC) gave his employment on his WWI draft card as Allaire's Scheffal [sic] Hall.
It's such an odd name that I looked it up and apparently it's a famous landmark which at the time was a German-themed social club and restaurant; it hasn't been a restaurant in forever but the building still exists. Interesting.

New on this instance but happy to be around fellow New Yorkers.
Started in #chelsea, then moved to #ParkSlope, and for the last 25 years been in #Gramercy / #MurrayHill / #nomad / #KipsBay area
