West 52nd Street, east across Sixth Avenue, showing the well known 52nd Street restaurant and night club district. Adjacent to both Times Square and Rockefeller City, it provides intimate entertainment to the cafe society group. It is lodged in the row of former private residences that extend between Sixth and Fifth Avenue's and are the direct result of the Prohibition era, being comparable to the Speakeasy of that day. Leon & Eddie's is the best known. August 3, 1940
