The Night Club Era should rate as a Broadway Koran. Other books on the subject are unnecessary if they agree with it, wrong if they differ from it, and in either case should be burned."—Alva Johnston, from the Introduction

Written in the aftermath of Prohibition, Stanley Walker's The Night Club Era is a lively and idiosyncratic account of the people and places that defined New York's night life during the era of "the great American madness." Here we meet murderers and millionaires, gangsters, bartenders, celebrities of the stage, screen, and society, and a host of other colorful characters who populated the city's diverse night clubs, from El Fey to the Cotton Club. Walker relives the "night of incredulous sadness" on which the Volstead Act went into effect, visits a classic speakeasy, discussing the owner's delicate arrangements with policemen, prohibition agents, and bootleggers, and details the frequently brutal swindles practiced in the city's numerous clip joints and the tactics of the era's crime organizations, explaining precisely what happens when one is "taken for a ride."

Among the larger-than-life night club habitués Walker sketches are Owney Madden, the elder statesman of the city's rackets; Walter Winchell, America's most influential columnist and the "brash historian of our life and times"; Mayor James J. Walker, who typified the gaudiness, smartness, and insouciance of the city he ran, yet was never too refined to shoot dice on hotel room floors; and Texas Guinan, the beloved entertainer, hostess, and entrepreneur who greeted customers with her trademark phrase "Hello, sucker!" Vividly told, The Night Club Era offers a singular, serious—though never sober—history of New York City during Prohibition.

So disappointed! The pieces do not fit like in the instructions or pictures. The top rack does not fit in the slots; it’s too wide. It’s unusable!!

hopefully your rack comes with hardware!
Color: black
Tried to order this twice and both times it arrived without any hardware or hooks. This is disappointing since the size and design is perfect for my space. Undecided yet if I should try a 3rd time!

Chipped rack and top rack does not stay up
Color: black, Color: black
Heavy duty and easy to put together, with the exception of the two screws for the top rack; the top rack does not stay in the up position on its own like I thought it would. I can’t open my cabinet door. I had to screw a hook in the wall to hold it up. It arrived with chips on the metal.

Good for small spaces
Color: black
Nice item for a small space. You can hang a lot of clothes in a very small space. Seems sturdy. My clothes dry well. Like that it folds up against the wall when I’m done.

Keep your keys, wallet, and all other every day carry items in one, high quality location. Very nice material and build quality that accessorizes my dresser perfectly. The size is appropriate for everything that belongs in your pockets. Overall the best value for your $ I’ve seen, especially if you can catch a discount.
