October's the time for tricks or treats!
In honor of All Saints' Day and All Hallows' Eve, we've combined our two favorite things about the month, ghosts and burgers, and will meet at Landmark Tavern on Thursday, October 25th at 7:30.
Rumor has it that the "Landmark Tavern, which opened in 1868...was a speakeasy favored by George Raft, the Hollywood tough guy who grew up in Hell's Kitchen. His ghost is said to haunt the bar, along with that of a Confederate Civil War veteran who, knifed in a fight, staggered up to the second floor to die in a bathtub that's still there. The ghost of an Irish immigrant girl who died in her bed wanders the third floor." ("Turf of Gangs and Gangsters" by John Strausbaugh.)
For more on Landmark Tavern, check out NY Magazine. The restaurant is located at 626 11th Ave at 46th Street.
