Chumley’s is no more

 

Chumley’s opened in 1926 in New York’s West Village  by Lee Chumley, as a speakeasy although the building had been  a stop on the Underground Railroad in another life. The Speakeasy became one of the more famous saloons in the world and was, for decades, literary paradise until it closed in 2021 as a result of the Chinese Virus. Regulars included F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway Jack Kerouac E.E. Cummings JD Salinger and Dorothy Parker among many others. The term to get 86’d from a twas invented there (The address is 86 Bedford)
