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, d cor and formula for ducking the law. Each found its own alcoholic substratum: its own inimitable characters behind, at and under the bar. Fear 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 The Speakeasies of 1932, 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. \"His comments are as swooping and witty as his lines.\" - The New Yorker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Al Hirschfeld\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1557835187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781557835185\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 08\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.21h x 9.38w x 0.68d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2003 pg. 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/05\/2003 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/17\/2003 pg. 159\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2003","brand":"Al Hirschfeld","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43939622584575,"sku":"9781557835185","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_25a5f3d7-aa1a-47b9-8e08-013236b38494.jpg?v=1681442568","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-speakeasies-of-1932-al-hirschfeld-9781557835185","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
