For well-read drinkers and boozy bookworms 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 with photographs, a list of the writerly clientele, a recipe for the establishment’s 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. Storied Bars of New York will make finding your favourite erudite-cool drinking spot easy.
