3.0 out of 5 stars The Stork Lives On, 16 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Stork Club: American's Most Famous Nightspot and the Lost World of Cafe Society (Hardcover)
For almost twenty years the Stork Club stood at the center of New York night life. It played host to larger than life celebrities and characters- none larger than its legendary proprieter, Sherman Billingsly. Blumenthal has done a fine job researching the history of the club, and he presents vivid pictures of the club in its prime and decline, priceless anecdotes, and the most accurate biographical notes on Billingsley yet available. Unfortunately he never manages to place the club in its greater social context. He makes it very clear why the Stork Club disappeared, but never explains how "Cafe Society" becaome a "Lost World." Still any student of American social history will want to enter into the world of the Stork.
