City Spotlight:: Raise a Glass to Literary Greenwich Village
Wherever one turns in the Village, literary history is present, quietly nestled on the walls of Minetta Tavern or boisterously proclaimed over every inch of a tourist-laden McSorley's. Regardless of physical commemorations, the ideas generated in these bars continue to thrive. They inspire us to write our own masterpieces. They give us the liquid courage to share new and untried ideas. Or, more simply, they allow us to appreciate fellow word-lovers, driving us to congregate in a cozy tavern corner, order a pint and appreciate the beauty of the written word.
