For one night, Battery Park slows down to Tuscan time. A Tuscan spread, a glass from the hills around Florence, and music from Puccini to the old Florentine serenades. “A tavola non s’invecchia” - at the table, you don’t grow old. Thursday, October 15. Link in bio.

Paris, a hundred years ago, was where every young artist went to feel alive - broke, happy, and filling the cafés of the Left Bank with w**e and music. Hemingway called it a moveable feast: once you’d lived it, it went with you everywhere.

On September 17, we’re bringing that Paris to Battery Park - a bookstore and a ch*****ne bar becomes a Left Bank café for one night. A French spread of charcuterie, cheeses, and chocolate truffles, gypsy jazz in the Django tradition, and chanson from our special guest, Lynn Beach Smith.

75 seats. An Evening in Paris. Link in bio.

Death in the Afternoon 🥂

Created by Ernest Hemingway and named for his 1932 book on Spanish bullfighting, this 1930s classic pairs absinthe with chilled Ch*****ne. Take Hemingway’s advice “drink a few of these slowly.”
