Actress Denée Benton, known for playing Peggy Scott on HBO's The Gilded Age, joins a panel discussion at Gladys Books & Wine on Oct 11. The conversation with author Hugh Ryan is part of a queer history series tied to the show, with a Ball x Ball afterparty following at Saint James Libations.
A bookstore and wine lounge where Black queer and feminist literature shares the counter with natural wine, both chosen with serious care. Author events, film theory workshops, and community salons fill the calendar most evenings, making it the kind of place people come to linger rather than browse.
