Storied Bars of New York by Delia Cabe
A guide to the bars where New York’s writers did their drinking — and occasionally their writing. Delia Cabe takes you through the city’s most literary taverns, hotel bars and cocktail rooms: the booths where Hemingway and Capote held court, the bar where Jay McInerney orders his martini, the neighborhood spot Colson Whitehead calls his own.
Each chapter profiles one bar, with photographs, a roll call of its writerly regulars, a recipe for the house cocktail (and a note on who ordered it), and a sense of what the place meant to the city in its heyday. Part New York history, part drinks book, part itinerary for your next night out.
For the reader who likes a good bar, or the regular who likes a good book.
