Goodreads New York City Literary Pub Crawl

Goodreads proudly announces its first New York City Lit Pub Crawl!

Join us as we channel our inner John Cheever and Dorothy Parker with a night of fun in SoHo, Nolita and the East Village.

Start your night right at Housing Works. Grab a bite to eat, have a beer and enjoy readings by Colson Whitehead, Emily St. John Mandel and Amy King. After that, we will travel to Botanica and Tom and Jerry's before finishing the night at KGB Bar.

Along the way, toast great American writers. Be prepared to honor your favorites. Perhaps a glass of rye whiskey for Salinger, a champagne cocktail in memory of Parker, a mint julip for Faulkner, a boilermaker for Bukowski, or a splash of Wild Turkey for London.

We will provide a cheat sheet to help you on your writerly way.

Cheers!

This event is for members 21 and older.
