The Press Club
Tabloid newspapermen must have somewhere to cash
checks, and this is as good as any. Better than most
of the reporters' haunts downtown. In the
Forties, east of Third (141 E. 46th St.), and up a
short flight of stairs. No raids because they're
really careful, but a turned-down hat brim and a
drooping cigarette will pass anybody.
The liquor is the McCoy, notably the Scotch whiskey
which is reputed to be delivered through the
connivance of influential ship-news reporters direct
from Rum Row. Johnny is both owner and bartender.
He's expert, kindly and easy-going. Credit as
high as $100 has been extended to working pressmen.
Ladies are welcome. But they must be ladies.
