Latin Quarter, Nightclub on Broadway, Manhattan, United States.
The Latin Quarter occupies multiple floors featuring diverse entertainment spaces, including dedicated dance areas, performance stages, and upscale lounges with modern sound systems.
Lou Walters established the Latin Quarter in 1942, transforming the former Cotton Club into a French New Orleans-themed venue that attracted performers like Frank Sinatra.
The venue represents a fusion of Latin American dance traditions with New York nightlife, presenting salsa, merengue performances, and dance instruction sessions.
The Latin Quarter operates Wednesday through Saturday evenings, with entry through the main entrance on Broadway between 96th and 97th Streets.
Photographs from 1949 captured dancers preparing backstage, revealing behind-the-scenes moments that later appeared in LIFE magazine's coverage of Manhattan nightlife.
