"21": every day was New Year's Eve : memoirs of a saloon keeper

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.
