21: Every Day Was New Year's Eve

By H. Peter Kriendler and H. Paul Jeffers

Book Overview

The story of New York's '21' Club is the story of American glamour in the twentieth century. In his star-studded memoir, saloonkeeper Peter Kriendler--younger brother of Jack Kriendler, cofounder of '21'--paints a spellbinding portrait of the club through its early years, its birth as a Greenwich Village speakeasy, its move to midtown during Prohibition, the tough days of the Great Depression, the dazzling Camelot nights, and the swinging go-go years as it became America's most legendary restaurant and a second home to the most powerful people in business, politics, and entertainment.

Customer Reviews

The great place to eat in NY.

I have eaten here many times. The book is so good.It reminds you all the history of this wonderful place.

Finally!

This is the only book I've actually read cover-to-cover in a very long time. It held my interest, and flowed very well. Written as vignettes, which I like!
