Charlie's Sandwich Shoppe - a photo on Flickriver

Quick autumn street shot (with some nice fall foliage color reflected in the upper windows) of Charlie's Sandwich Shoppe, an institution in Boston's South End since 1927. (See also this shot of Charlie's in the snow from 2017).

As wikipedia notes, Charlie's is
"known for serving African-American jazz musicians during the era of segregated hotels. The walls of the diner are adorned with pictures of customers ranging from Sammy Davis Jr., Duke Ellington, and Cab Calloway, to Vice President Al Gore and President Barack Obama. As a child, Sammy Davis, Jr. used to tap dance in front of the restaurant for change." . . ."Charlie's has won numerous awards over the years, culminating in the reception of a James Beard Foundation Award in 2005 in the category of America's Classics."

UPDATE: To my surprise, this made Explore for November 14, 2023. Thanks Flickr. Always an honor.
