Algonquin Hotel Lounge, front window area, 59 West 44th Street, New York, New York
Enjoy fruitful discussions of mutual literary interest with other authors amid the ghostly presence of some of America’s finest authors of the 1900s on Wednesday, July 10, beginning around 7–7:15 p.m. Late arrivals are welcome.
The event will be at The Algonquin Hotel Lounge, front window area, 59 West 44th Street, between Fifth and Sixth Ave. This classy place has hosted literary notables going back to 1919. Its walls are graced with memorabilia, and this alone is reason to visit here even if you don’t care to have a nice dinner. Imagine dining in a small museum: That’s what this place is like.
To arrive from Grand Central Station: Ascend the stairs on the west side of the Grand Concourse. When outside, look about 200 feet to your right for the 44th St sign, then walk 1.5 blocks west to the Algonquin Hotel marquee on the right. When you arrive, look for your host, Robert Brown Butler, a grayhaired gentleman wearing a butterfly bowtie.
