There is a copywrited photo of this cafe that shows it was in operation at least from 1948 and not "mid-50's"https://www.morrisonhotelgallery.com/photographs/bqOAoT/Metropole-Cafe-NYC-New-York1948Shirllowery (talk) 06:50, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Edit should be made to reflect in operation as early as 1948. It seems as though it would not be that difficult to find the exact date it began operating?https://www.morrisonhotelgallery.com/photographs/bqOAoT/Metropole-Cafe-NYC-New-York1948 Shirllowery (talk) 06:50, 8 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
