Description
Summary:""That is the thing about New York, "" wrote Dorothy Parker in 1928. ""It is always a little more than you had hoped for. Each day, there, is so definitely a new day."" Now you can journey back there, in time, to a grand city teeming with hidden bars, luxurious movie palaces, and dazzling skyscrapers. In these places, Dorothy Parker and her cohorts in the Vicious Circle at the infamous Algonquin Round Table sharpened their wit, polished their writing, and captured the energy and elegance of the time. Robert Benchley, Parker's best friend, became the first managing editor of Vanity.
