The Algonquin was popular with the Gold Medal writers? I
thought it catered to a more literary crowd. Isn't that where
"Mrs Parker and her Vicious Circle" (as the Alan Rudolph film
called them) held court? Sure, that was a bit earlier, but I
still find it surprising that the disreputable paperback
writers would be welcome there, or want to be. Then again,
they probably drank enough that any bar would welcome their
money and patronize their patronage.
