A tribute to legendary restaurateur Elaine Kaufman and her renowned Manhattan creative melting pot.Elaine’s was a world-famous New York restaurant that became home to writers and celebrities. Owner Elaine Kaufman was known to be “New York feisty,” controversial, often rude, always blunt, with the flare of Gertrude Stein and Dorothy Parker.Elaine was highly respected and also frequently feared, and Elaine’s the restaurant received the public’s love and praise time and time again. Woody Allen held a regular table there, and Elaine’s was even featured in Allen’s Manhattan and Billy Joel’s song “Big Shot.” Throughout the years, Mick Jagger, John Lennon, and countless celebrities, politicians, socialites, private eyes, athletes, artists, and the biggest names in Hollywood became Elaine’s regulars.Most emphatically, Elaine’s raison d’être was to nourish “starving writers” with encouragement, introductions to Pulitzer Prize winners, and free food and alcohol. These struggling authors responded to Elaine’s support with profound gratitude.Elaine passed away in 2010, forcing the restaurant manager to close shop shortly after. “There is no Elaine’s without Elaine,” she decreed. However, the memories remain and are recalled by a variety of Elaine’s regulars in this moving, oftentimes amusing, collection of personal essays.Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in history--books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and much more.

Did you ever make it to Elaine’s restaurant in New York? Elaine was a formidable, much loved, much feared matriarch who ran her watering hole for writers, cops, celebrities, gangsters and assorted other luminaries from the 1960’s to the 00’s, When she died, Elaine's died, as it must without her ample prevailing spirit. Amy’s book is a romp through that charmed time and place, a fun and poignant riff down memory “line” (the tables along the wall were known as “the line” where the Woody Allens, Norman Mailers, Kurt Vonneguts, George Plimptons, Jackie Kennedys (and later Os) and all sat.ELAINE'S is a trip: to the remarkable alchemy of a fabulous joint that Elaine Kaufman created on 2nd Ave. and 88th. Amy and her fellow sharers evoke the madly unique experience—and character—that was Elaine. I’m particularly struck by the strong sense of family that people who were a part of it all felt in her establishment, in her presence—one and the same, I guess--and the many mentions of how she changed people’s lives. Elaine had a habit of encouraging writers and running tabs for them while seeing that the very well-to-do paid their fair share. Not a bad legacy for a tough broad who was able to punch guys in the face, give beautiful women the cold shoulder and expel the likes of Geraldo while sticking up for the little guy. The place was glamorous as hell, but also a neighborhood haven for the brilliant and gifted...and the rest of us. It was the Democratic Republic of Elaine's. Amy Penn, with considerable insight and pizzazz, brings the magic to us on a platter.
