Description:
The intersection of 131st Street and 7th Avenue was a Harlem hot spot called "The Corner." This was the site of Connie's Inn, a popular cabaret that was the chief rival of the famous Cotton Club.

Connie's opened its doors during Prohibition—the period from 1920 to 1933 when the making and sale of liquor was outlawed in the United States. No surprise, then, that it hosted a shady clientele of gangsters and molls, rumrunners, and bathtub bootleggers.
