March 29: Club Manhattan: A Jazz Age Speakeasy
CLUB MANHATTAN: A JAZZ AGE SPEAKEASY
Saturday, March 29, 2008
8:00 p.m. to midnight.
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls? Well, how about Second & Manhattan? Put on your glad rags and discover the clandestine seductions of a little hideaway 'Off-Manhattan'. Behind a plain door down a dimly-lit alley in the heart of St. Andrews Square, you'll find men in striped suits & women in beaded chemises that catch the light as they shimmy to the Charleston. There, back in the 20s, it's rumored the bathtub gin flowed freely. Now we're pretty sure we'll be safe from raids, and the hooch is clean. But we might still serve it in tea cups.
You'll want to be there. Knock three times and whisper the secret password (to be revealed when you make your reservation). Swellegant people, deliciously furtive drinks, dancing with abandon, raffles, and a surprise or two we can't yet reveal. (P.S. Don't tell the attorney general!)
Sponsored jointly by the Art Deco Society of Los Angeles (ADSLA) and the St. Andrews Square Neighborhood Association (SASNA); proceeds will go to the preservation of historic structures in St. Andrews Square and Art Deco treasures throughout Los Angeles.
Tickets are $35.00* for members of ADSLA or SASNA, $40.00* for non members
*plus $2 processing fee per ticket.
TICKETS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
Parking information and the secret password upon confirmation of your reservation.
