On this day in NYC history

View this post on Instagram

The beloved, legendary, and mourned CBGB opened on this day in 1973. The club was the birthplace of punk, a defining cultural movement of New York City in the 1970s, featuring bands like the Ramones (swipe 👉 to see them performing), Blondie, Talking Heads, and Joan Jett... and the list goes on and on. From its location on the Bowery, CBGB became a cultural destination and badge of honor for punk, rock, and new wave bands looking to make it big. 🎸The venue closed in 2006 with one final concert on October 15 by Patti Smith. .
