    Charles Pfaff opens a vaulted beer cellar on Broadway that draws Walt Whitman and a literary crowd

    Charles Pfaff opened his beer cellar in 1855 at 653 Broadway, near Bleecker Street, on part of the lot that Bleecker Court now covers. Patrons went down a flight of stairs into a vaulted room modeled on German rathskellers. Regulars included Walt Whitman, Henry Clapp Jr., who founded the Saturday Press, the actress Ada Clare and the actor Edwin Booth. Pfaff moved his business uptown in 1870.
