"The term "night-hawk", like "night owl," is used figuratively to describe someone who stays up late, and is a name shared with a real family of birds called (naturally)Nighthawks. The scene was supposedly inspired by a diner (since demolished) in Greenwich Village, Edward Hopper's home neighborhood in Manhattan. The now-vacant lot most usually associated with the former location is known as Murly Square at the intersection of Seventh Avenue South, Greenwich Avenue, and West 11th Street. However, according to The New york Times this cannot be the location of the diner that inspired the painting, as a gas station was occupying that lot from the 1930s to the 1970s." And this is my Night-hawks.. taken at saturday night in Via dei Capocci in Rome! This is an Outlet boutique that stays open till very late at night. cheers, Dariush
