Once the hangout of Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and others of the New York School, then of beats Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and Gregory Corso, and in the '60s Tuli Kupferberg of The Fugs, David Amram, and occasionally Dylan. Though it has a long and honorable history, Cedar Tavern has been at its current location only since the early '60s; the original location was a few blocks south at 24 University Place. According to Bob Spitz's Dylan: A Biography, D.A. Pennebaker, Dylan, and Bobby Neuwirth met to plan the shooting of Don't Look Back in the Cedar Tavern.
