Caroline Hirsch opened her eponymous cabaret in [[Chelsea, New York]], in 1981. She started booking comedians, and these were so popular that was soon booking nothing else. Needing a larger venue, Caroline's moved to [[South Street Seaport]] where it gained national recognition as the venue for [[A&E Network]]'s ''[[Caroline's Comedy Hour]]'' television series, which won a [[CableACE]] award for Best Stand-Up Comedy Series. In 1992, the club moved to a 300-seat space in Times Square. The new club received the American Institute of Architecture Award for Best Interior Club Design and was featured on the cover of ''Interior Design'' magazine.<ref>[http://www.carolines.com/aboutus.html 'About us', ''carolines.com''].
