Description:
New York City has always been a city best understood from a barstool. For nearly three centuries, its taverns, dives, and storied lounges have been the backdrop for history, heartbreak, and great conversation. This beautifully photographed volume celebrates thirty of those legendary establishments — from the White Horse Tavern, where Dylan Thomas and James Baldwin once held court, to the Stonewall Inn, a landmark of the LGBTQ+ rights movement, to the gilded King Cole Bar at the St. Regis, presided over by a Maxfield Parrish mural. With vivid portraits by award-winning photographers James and Karla Murray and rich storytelling by journalist Dan Q. Dao, this is a love letter to the bars that made New York, New York.
