Max's Kansas City, Restaurant and nightclub at Park Avenue South, Manhattan, United States.
The three-level venue featured distinct areas including a bar section, a back room, and an upper floor with contemporary art installations.
Mickey Ruskin founded this establishment in December 1965, creating a central meeting point for New York's creative community until its closure in 1981.
Artists, musicians, and writers congregated at this location, where Andy Warhol's entourage frequently occupied the back room during the 1970s.
The venue presented live performances from emerging talents, including early concerts by Bruce Springsteen, Bob Marley, and the New York Dolls.
Forest Myers designed a hanging sculpture for the bar area, while John Chamberlain contributed a crashed car installation to the interior decor.
