Storied Bars of New York: Where Literary Luminaries Go to Drink
Storied Bars of New York: Where Literary Luminaries Go to Drink | Delia Cabe
6 posts | 1 reading | 5 to read
Explore the fabled past and vibrant present of New Yorks literary bar scene Want to know what its like to pull up a stool with the likes of Hemingway, Updike, or Capote? Curious how Jay McInerney takes his martini, or where to find Colson Whiteheads favorite neighborhood bar? For well-read drinkers and boozy bookworms everywhere comes Storied Bars of New York, a photographic and historical celebration of the best literary pubs, cocktail bars, and taverns of New York City. Every chapter profiles an influential bar and comes complete with photographs, a laundry list of the writerly clientele, a recipe for the establishments signature cocktail (as well as which authors were likely to order it), and a snapshot of its place in New York culture at the time of its eminence, as demonstrated by quotes from authors and excerpts from magazine reviews. In a city where there is almost too much to explore, this guide will make finding your favorite erudite-cool drinking spot that much easier.

i am so proud of Delia Cabe and was happy to attend her book launch party this week for Storied Bars of New York with @Bluzygrl

I met both Jen and Delia on Twitter and have happily run into them at bookish events over the years. Who says you can't make real friends online?
