Monday, September 28, 2026, 11:00 PM - 1:00 AM · Blue Bar, Midtown, New York City
Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat Pray Love, joins Cat Greenleaf for a conversation on sobriety and her new memoir All the Way to the River, an Oprah's Book Club pick. Tracy Bonham and Street Light Boutique perform, and seating is limited with RSVP required.
Al Hirschfeld caricatures line the walls, the room washed in a low blue glow, and the martinis land exactly as they should. $22 for the classic, $10,000 if you’re feeling theatrical. A “Mad Men” section anchors the cocktail list, while the crowd (equal parts theater spillover and Midtown regulars) keeps the room humming. Behind the bar, the tenure shows: nothing rattles them, and every drink arrives like they’ve made it a thousand times before.
