THE IDLE CURIOSITY of the ARCHIVIST

A CONTEST 

(or a plea, from Immy Humes)

CAN YOU IDENTIFY THESE HAPPY FEW?
Looks like they are celebrating something. 
This was likely early 60's, in NYC, but what was the place and occasion? 
the CEDAR Tavern? The coffee drinkers vs. the beer drinkers? 
Are those Christmas cards strung above them on the right?

I know 3 out of the 8. From far left: 

Anna Lou Elianoff-Humes-Aldrich (AKA my mother), bespectacled, grins to camera
3 unknown to me
GAP, AKA George Ames Plimpton
1 festive drinker
Harold Louis "Doc" Humes, also grinning (AKA Dad)
1 less festive-looking handsome young man

First to ID any of the missing wins a ticket to see DOC at Anthology or a DVD
