Playland Café : ウィキペディア英語版 | Playland Café
The Playland Café (1937–1998), located at 21 Essex Street in Boston, Massachusetts, was Boston's oldest gay bar.〔According to ''Improper Bostonians'', the bar opened in 1938. According to the owner, as reported in a ''Boston Globe'' story (Kindleberger, 1998), it opened in 1937.〕 ==History==
According to Paul Staffier, when his father Rocco Staffier opened Playland in 1937 it was not a gay bar, but by the start of World War II it had begun attracting a gay clientele. When the bar closed in 1998, Staffier, who had run Playland for 40 years, said that it was not the "den of iniquity" it was reputed to be, and that arrests had been rare. Over the years it was mentioned only a few times in the ''Boston Globe''.〔''Boston Globe'' archives, 2015〕
