Jack & Charlies "21 Club" the place to be in the 1950s

[99call]

Has anyone ever been?    Looks like it was quite the spot back in the day, and whomever was in charge of their merch dept, had the Midas touch. 

One of the youtube clips seems to catch a young Orson Welles living it up.   Oh and what about the secret wine cellar/bar.   Got to love it.

I was at a private function there about 15 years ago. We were in a small banquet room upstairs. The food was fantastic. 

 21 figured prominently  in a great old movie, The Sweet Smell Of Success. Burt Lancaster at his very best.

I've been there a couple times and remember it well but don't remember being blown away.  Used to spend a lot of time in the city but not as much the last couple of years.

Always stir my Manhattan 21 times. Still there but not the place it used to be...

This should be in my Kimfession Series Classy Baseball Bat CC Edition, since I generally like long CCs. I'm sure it'll blend well with my signature Howard Stern humor style hehe ??. Too bad that it became extinct like dinosaurs though.
