Opened in 1935 by Max Gordon, this is one of the world's most important jazz clubs--a venue for greats like Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk and Charles Mingus. Live albums have been recorded here by John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon et al.

In its early days, when it was booking non-jazz acts, it helped launch the careers of Harry Belafonte, Leadbelly, Benny Bailey - Village Vanguard by Tom Marcello, on Flickr Eartha Kitt and many others. In 1938, Betty Comden, Adolph Green and Judy Holliday worked here together as The Revuers, with Leonard Bernstein on piano.

The exterior was used as a filming location for the Amazon Video series "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel".
