Reviews
"Gitane is one of those spots you always met your friends at. Everyone knew it. It was a secret but not even sort of a secret at the same time. I used to roll around in the '90s on a BMX bike with my friends and we'd always stop by there. Cafe Gitane: 30 Years is an electrifying tour of the cultural explosion downtown and my personal favorite cafe that was in the middle of it." --Norman Reedus "I started going to Gitane soon after Supreme opened. It's always been an authentic and naturally cool spot that has stood the test of time. It's probably the restaurant that me and my family have eaten at the most over the last thirty years." --James Jebbia "There was nothing comparable in the city . . . I felt so comfortable at Luc's place that in some ways I dreaded Balthazar opening, because it would bring an unwelcome end to my daily meetings there." --Keith McNally "In '95 there was not much else open in the neighborhood. It was the mafia and Luc. Gitane was the only place in the neighborhood where you could go and have great food. Ever since we discovered it, we've come at least a couple times a week, always for breakfast or lunch. You know you can go and you'll get exactly what you want and what you've been craving. There's just a few places left like that in New York." --Inez and Vinoodh

Synopsis
Gorgeously produced and full of fascinating interviews, profiles, and recipes, Café Gitane: 30 Years tells the story of the vibrant downtown New York culture that thrived in the '90s and 2000s through the lens of an iconic institution nestled at its heart. Through the voices of patrons, artists, and locals who have frequented the beloved Cafe Gitane, readers are sent back to an analog New York, when NoLIta was still Little Italy, a quiet neighborhood tucked between SoHo and the Lower East Side, and downtown hummed with creative energy. Here a tiny, cosmopolitan French Moroccan cafe evolved into a cultural nexus: a meeting place and playground for everyone, from the most talented emerging artists to out-of-town visitors. Cafe Gitane: 30 Years invites readers to savor the sights, sounds, and tastes of an establishment that has left an unusually lasting mark on an ever-shifting city. It chronicles not just a unique café, but a creative community--and a microcosm of New York itself. McNally Jackson Books, Nolita's neighborhood bookstore since 2004, is honored to be publishing this celebratory scrapbook. Indeed, Café Gitane commemorates the enduring spirit and connection shared by two downtown institutions and gathering places, whose entwined histories and evolutions help define the fabric of the city.

- e***u (780)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseExcellent, excellent seller! Ordered this book and within 15 minutes I got an eBay message from the seller stating he shipped the book, hopes I’m happy with the purchase and thanked me for a quick payment. The comic arrived in great shape and the seller even took the time to place the book in a fresh board and bag. Can’t tell you how much that means to me to have the pleasure of this great customer service. Thanks again and highly recommended!The House of Secrets #101 Bronze Age DC Comic Book 1972 (#376081155484)
