Editorial Review

Sebastian Junger's easygoing writer's haunt. Regular readings from Vanity Fair and Harper's scribes, among others. No scene, pretense, design, or décor. Friendly wooden bar for drinking with old friends and pounding that writer's block into the ground with a pint or four. Decent pub fare at decent prices. Be sure to check out the secret garden out back. Just remember: it's not the size of the book's advance, it's the quality ... oh, who are we kidding.
