Sundays at Café Tabac - The Podcast

"Sundays at Café Tabac" is both a documentary film and a podcast that explores the legendary lesbian nightlife scene at the New York City club, Café Tabac, from 1993 to 1995. The podcast, co-hosted by LGBTQ+ nightlife icon Wanda Acosta and Karen Song, features personal coming-out stories and reflections from the community that frequented the club. It highlights the club's significance as a space of refuge, self-expression, and cultural impact during a time of social change and the AIDS crisis.
