RENT COMES TO LIFE
Today Life Cafe has become the center of pilgrimage for large and small groups of Rentheads, as they’re known, from all over the United States and all over the world. Why do they come? To see the place where Jonathan Larson wrote Rent, to experience the actual place that was featured in the play and movie and to take a trip back in time to have for themselves an “original East Village Experience”, an original Rent Experience!
Jonathan Larson frequented the East Village and he liked hanging out at Life Cafe, sipping coffee while watching, interviewing and writing. He observed the various groups of neighborhood people who regularly met at Life Cafe. Because, after all, there was never enough room in Lower East Side apartments or enough heat, or hot water. And sometimes there was no water at all.
Life Cafe is located on the corner of 10th Street and Avenue B in the fashionable East Village neighborhood in New York City. The sidewalk café provides the perfect vantage point to take in the constant parade, the pulse and vibe of East Village life. In contrast, our secret garden is an intimate and magical hideaway known to few and treasured by many.
