Yes, ManyPeacock! Also called "The Café Terrace on the Place du Forum," it sat on a public square in Arles, France. He and his easel were in the northeast corner of the square, facing The Café Terrace at 11 Place du Forum. In the early 1990s, the Cafe was painted bright Van Gogh yellow and reopened as Café Van Gogh, then, Le Café La Nuit. However, it is currently closed due to "ongoing legal and management issues." (Oh, dear!) But you can still get a photo in front! 😬 A bit disappointing!

And allow me to add a more romantic note onto my comments. AS TO THE TITLE, "No Black," it refers to Van Gogh actually using No Black in the painting, wanting to prove that the night was rich in color. In fact, he wrote to his sister about the painting, "Now there's a painting of night without black. With nothing but beautiful blue, violet and green, and in these surroundings the lighted square is coloured pale sulphur, lemon green."

"Without Black." I called it "No Black" below. My apologies!

“Cafe Terrace at Night” by Van Gogh—another one I’ve met on artkeepergame.com.
