Speakeasies in New York Evolve into Open Dining Spots
Frederic J. Haskin notes there are an estimated ten to thirty thousand speakeasies in New York, now largely open and casually run with two main formats: traditional bar dining and upscale restaurant style. Prices include a $1.25 Luculian banquet with two drinks extra, while beer often costs 20 to 50 cents per glass. Nightlife varies, with modest music at dinner and more elaborate shows later, yet the city maintains quiet security with efficient bouncers to curb disturbances.
