It’s Tribeca Tavern!

So, as to the OP, there’s a similar picture of my circa 1973. It’s just my mom’s hand under a blanket, propping me up under my head and shoulders, so it’s not nearly as creepy, but the idea is the same.

I’m not sure they’re hippy girls, so much as happy young female comrades in traditional dress enjoying the natural beauties of the motherland while resting from their labors in a factory helping to build a greater soviet future. They have a car because the standard of living is so high in the Soviet Union.

That’s a great site all around. And in the above section you can find a pic of what looks like a six or seven year old Angelina Jolie clutching her father’s leg. Cute as a button.
