I think you must be talking about CBGB's (full name CBGB-OMFUG, which stands for Country BlueGrass Blues & Other Music for Upstanding Gormandizers). That's the legendary club where some of the first punk rock bands -- like the New York Dolls, the Ramones, the Dead Boys, Television, the Heartbreakers, the Dictators, etc., etc. -- played back in the seventies. There was another club that all these bands played at called Max's Kansas City, but it closed in 1981. CBGB's kept on going strong until 2006, until its owner, Hilly Kristal (who died of cancer in 2007), finally gave it up to CBGB Holdings Ltd. Supposedly the problem started with complaints from Kristal's landlord regarding unpaid rent.
I have included links to two articles regarding the closing of CBGB's, and the rather ugly court battle between Kristal's next of kin over his estate.

If you mean, New York Punk, then heres your answer: The origins of New York's punk rock scene can be traced back to such sources as late 1960s trash culture and an early 1970s underground rock movement centered around the Mercer Arts Center in Greenwich Village, where the New York Dolls performed.[79] In early 1974, a new scene began to develop around the CBGB club, also in lower Manhattan.

What were the first British punk groups?
The Ramones and The MC5.AnswerThis is a tricky question. As different people have different definitions of what punk rock is and when/where it began, there's no answer that everyone, or even mostly everyone, can agree on.But I would say that the first punk bands ever were The Stooges and The MC5 in Detroit. A few years later, the first New York City punk band was The New York Dolls. Some might say it was The Velvet Underground, but this is a difficult opinion to maintain when you consider that lead singer/songwriter Lou Reed has consistently denied that his band was a punk band.Either way, the Ramones formed in 1974, and the New York Dolls formed in 1971 (and The Stooges and The MC5 formed like, 5 or 6 years before that), so I don't see how The Ramones can be called the first punk band, unless you don't consider the Dolls or the Stooges to be "true" punk bands, which is a conversation that belongs on the Discussion page, not in this Answer box.
