Address?[edit]

The New York Times lists the address as 647 Broadway ( http://documents.nytimes.com/walt-whitman-and-abraham-lincoln page 12 on the document), while PBS says it's 653 Broadway (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/whitman/map/1.html ). Anyone know of more definitive sources? Cheers, Mabuse (talk) 14:28, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it may have been 647 through 1862, and then 653 from at least 1865 onward. Source: Literature of New York, ed. Sabrina Fuchs-Abrams, "Whitman at Pfaff's", p. 14. http://www.c-s-p.org/flyers/978-1-4438-1242-9-sample.pdf Tempest67 (talk) 05:57, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The section about the 2010 restaurant called Pfaff's is just an advertisement, since it has no real connection with the original except the location.108.1.119.163 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 19:43, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ada Clare, Adah Isaacs Menkin confusion[edit]

This article gives the impression that these two women were one and the same. They weren't though they both died at an early age. I don't know if they were both habitues of Pfaff's. They both have separate Wikipedia articles.

This needs to be fixed!Ed (talk) 11:03, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, apparently both were "Pfaffians". see below:
