{"product_id":"speakeasies-of-1932-al-hirschfeld-9781557836762","title":"Speakeasies of 1932","description":"When Manhattan joints were hung out to dry, the Booze-oizie sniveled, then pirouetted on their stools to find reasonably palatable Speakeasy facsimiles. These Prohibition hangouts each had their own flavor, decorum, décor and formula for ducking the law. Each found its own alcoholic substratum: its own inimitable characters behind, at and under the bar. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFear not - all has not been lost to the repeal of the 18th Amendment, Starbucks corporate latte, and the wrecking ball. One intoxicating artifact remains, a book of lustrous vintage - Al Hirschfeld's \u003ci\u003eThe Speakeasies of 1932\u003c\/i\u003e, wherein Hirschfeld nails these dipsomaniacal outposts with his pen and brush in the manner of a dour Irish bartender sizing up a troublesome souse. Provided as well is the recipe for each of the speakeasy's cocktail claim to fame. The resulting concoction is the perfect antidote to the Cappuccino Grande Malaise, a book that will make everyone yearn for a Manhattan, old fashioned, and straight up. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"His comments are as swooping and witty as his lines.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Al Hirschfeld\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1557836760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781557836762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hal Leonard Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.88h x 9.04w x 0.38d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/08\/2006 pg. 24","brand":"Al Hirschfeld","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800419610879,"sku":"9781557836762","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/speakeasies-of-1932-al-hirschfeld-9781557836762","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
