Copacabana (nightclub)
The Copacabana was a New York City nightclub that has existed in several locations. Its most recent location, in Times Square, closed in May 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.In earlier locations, many entertainers, such as Danny Thomas, Pat Cooper and the comedy team of Martin and Lewis, made their New York debuts at the Copacabana. The Barry Manilow song "Copacabana" (1978) is named after, and set in, the club. The nightclub was used as a setting in the films Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Tootsie, The Purple Rose of Cairo, Carlito's Way, The French Connection, Martin and Lewis, Green Book, Beyond the Sea, The Irishman, and One Night in Miami. It was also used in several plays, including Barry Manilow's Copacabana. Also, the musical film Copacabana (1947), starring Groucho Marx and Carmen Miranda, takes place in The Copacabana, as does the made-for-television film based on the Manilow hit song, in which Manilow himself starred.
