F. Scott Fitzgerald’s writing immortalized the glamour, ambition, and excess of the 1920s, most famously in "The Great Gatsby."
Fitzgerald is often credited with popularizing the term “Jazz Age” to describe the transformative era of the '20s, when jazz emerged as the most popular music of the decade. Jazz music would pour from hidden speakeasies, nightclubs, and dance halls.
The quote displayed here is spoken by Jordan Baker to Nick Carraway in "The Great Gatsby." Clever, poised, and slightly cynical, Jordan's character embodied the attitude of “flappers,” or what Fitzgerald would call “good-time girls." Flappers were women who rebelled against the restrictions on “ladylike” behavior and dress of the Victorian age. They were part of a broader cultural transformation that helped define the spirit of the Roaring Twenties.
Step into that world at The Underground, where live jazz, Prohibition-era cocktails, and a secret menu capture the excitement of the 1920s.
