The Map

How this works

  1. Join for the whole day or only part of the tour. We’d love to see you at any point during the day. 

  2. Find and introduce yourself to fellow book/bar crawlers by their unique pieces of book flair. 

  3. Follow us as we go from bookstore to bar and repeat.

Pete’s Tavern @ 129 E 18th St, New York, NY 10003

Amongst the must-visit literary bars in NYC, Pete's Tavern has been serving its customers ever since 1864. Many creatives have thrown back a drink or three here and is an important stopover in any NYC pub crawl for its association with O. Henry. Three decades later, once again a site for literary greatness as Ludwig Bemelmans came up with the character of Madeline while sitting here.
