Publisher's Synopsis
In 1980, Jir?� George Erml (1945-2008) emigrated from his native Czechoslovakia to the United States, where he settled in Brooklyn and worked as a freelance photographer. Erml was immediately enchanted by the bars of New York, and began to photograph them: Casablanca in Harlem (since closed), Chumley's in Greenwich Village, Montero and John Hanley's in Brooklyn, Woods Inn in Queens, George's Rockaway Cove on Staten Island, the Golden Note Caf� in the Bronx and many others. This volume is a tribute to a little-documented aspect of New York life.
