Trendy Cafe- Max's Kansas City

I mentioned in my previous post about designing my cafe after Max's Kansas City. I want to give a more detailed history of this popular hangout. Max's was a historic restaurant/bar located in New York City. It was one of the most popular spots for artists, writers, and musicians during the late sixties and early seventies. Everyone from Andy Warhol to Truman Capote and Jim Morrison, enjoyed the "outrageous" and "chic" atmosphere of this bar. Max's was known as a "safe haven" in which everybody could be themselves and express ideas. There were three rooms, the Front Room, the Back Room, and Upstairs. The Front Room included paintings and sculptures. The Back Room consisted of large round tables where people, such as Warhol, socialized. Upstairs was the place for musical performances. The Velvet Underground with Nico and the New York Dolls were some of the bands that entertained ("Max's Kansas City")
