Synopsis

2015 Reprint of 1946 Edition. Full Facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The Stork Club in Manhattan, which operated from 1929 to 1965, was one of the most prestigious clubs in the world. A symbol of cafe society, the wealthy elite, including movie stars, celebrities, showgirls, and aristocrats all mixed in the VIP Cub Room of the club. A famous oasis after the ravages of Prohibition, the Stork Club was the place for celebrities to see and be seen. This bar book offers a historical glimpse into the high life in New York City at this legendary spot and who was drinking which concoctions. This book contains recipes, humor, and stories about the rich and famous who frequented this elegant club, and sly essays on such subjects as the mint julep and the zombie."
