We are excited to announce that our new book GREAT BARS of NEW YORK CITY: 30 of Manhattan’s Favorite Storied Drinking Establishments is now available for pre-order. 


The hardcover 240-page book with 220 color photographs will be released on September 10, 2024 by Prestel and we are currently taking pre-orders for signed copies to be mailed to you on the official 9/10/2024 release date for $49 via Venmo which includes shipping to anywhere in the continental USA.


Our book is an exploration of and a toast to New York’s fabled drinking establishments spotlighting a dazzling array of neighborhood institutions that have become cultural and historic landmarks, like the White Horse Tavern, McSorley’s Old Ale House, and Pete’s Tavern. We’ve also included lesser known establishments and beloved dive bars including Rudy’s Bar & Grill, Milano’s, Jimmy’s Corner, and Sophie’s, as well as unique spots such as the kitschy, hair salon-themed Beauty Bar, and trendsetting speakeasy PDT. Our exterior and interior photographs are paired with engaging descriptions that capture each location’s unique identity penned by journalist Dan Q. Dao.
