Description
by Stephanie Schorow (Author)
From the revolutionary camaraderie of the Colonial taverns to the saloons of the turn of the century; from Prohibition-a period rife with class politics, social reform, and opportunism-to a trail of nightclub neon so vast, it was called the "Conga Belt," Drinking Boston is a tribute to the fascinating role alcohol has played throughout the city's history.
