Stormé DeLarverie, a notable figure in the LGBT community, worked at Cubby Hole as a security guard.
Cubby Hole was appropriately named, given the small 360 square-foot space (approximately 12’ x 30’) when it closed in 1990, the name was transferred, though combined as one word, to a new, equally small lesbian bar called Cubbyhole at 281 West 12th Street, corner of West 4th Street, which is still in business. Shortly after closing her previous venture, Bonnie & Clyde, a lesbian bar that she owned from 1972 to 1981, Elaine Romagnoli opened Cubby Hole on the corner of Hudson and Morton Streets.
