The Cornelia Street Café was more than a restaurant; it was a cultural landmark that nurtured countless artists, writers, and performers. From its humble beginnings in 1977 as a one-room café with a toaster oven, founder Robin Hirsch turned it into a beacon for creativity.
The café became synonymous with artistic innovation and community until its tragic closure in 2018 due to rising rents.
