Prestel (Verlag)
978-3-7913-8019-3 (ISBN)
For nearly three centuries, people have been gathering in New York City taverns, bars, and pubs to celebrate, collaborate, flirt, and to see and be seen. Celebrating the historical significance of thirty of those establishments, this book features gorgeous full-color photographs by James and Karla Murray, the award-winning team behind Store Front NYC. Each drinking den is paired with engaging descriptions that capture the location's unique identity, penned by journalist Dan Q. Dao. There's the White Horse Tavern, frequented by writers such as Dylan Thomas and James Baldwin; the Stonewall Inn, renowned for its role in the 1969 riots - a pivotal moment in the LGBTQ+ rights movement; Fraunces Tavern, a historic landmark and museum that served as a meeting place for revolutionaries and hosted George Washington's farewell to his officers in 1783; Dante, a renowned Italian-inspired café-turned- cocktail spot voted in 2019 as the world's best bar; the King Cole Bar in the St. Regis Hotel, a sophisticated lounge adorned with a mural by Maxfield Parrish; and quintessential neighbourhood dive Rudy's Bar & Grill, where cheap beer and free hot dogs are served with a side of vintage grittiness. Filled with legends and stories, it also includes a map. Whether they're looking to soak up some NYC history or raise a glass to fit their mood, this helpful guide will ensure readers that they'll find a place to have a good, stiff drink.
