Sobre IBD

All the bars, taverns, and pubs described in this book are open for business serving alcohol and food on a daily basis. Some have been in operation for 400 years, many for at least 100 years. Most of these places are famous and they all have interesting stories to tell. Famous personalities play a prominent role in a lot of these events. People like Ernest Hemingway, Teddy Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and even George Washington frequented their favorite drinking spots. These stories range from business: Teddy Roosevelt at the Menger Bar in San Antonio, to sadness at the 'Weepers Corner' in San Francisco’s Top of the Mark, to joy at Fraunces Tavern celebrating the end of the American Revolution.

    BThe religious communities of early modern Eastern Europe—particularly those with a mystical bent—are typically studied in isolation.
