Once nestled in the heart of Greenwich Village, The Cornelia Street Café was more than a venue—it was a cultural landmark, a haven for poets, musicians, and dreamers. Though the original doors have closed, the spirit lives on. In this film, we continue to search its history of celebrating the arts by offering an intimate space, where performances feel free, to craft their talents and create the electric pulse that made this cafe a home for the arts through decades.

" If a city loses its artists, it loses its heart, its pulse, its soul. "
