From the parties to politics, fashion, sports, charity balls and celebrities, Canoe Place Inn was the scene to be seen in. Author and historian Terrence Lavin is back with the dish and décor before and after the fire of 1921. Politicians, from Roosevelts to Kennedys, parties for Vanderbilts, Hearsts and even Henry Ford (wonder what he drove?) and sports legends like Lou Gehrig, Jack Dempsey and Babe Ruth all stayed here. We were ‘In like Flynn’ with Errol, Gary Cooper and Einstein. So in a way, it will be rocket science. Lavin promises a “deep dive into the period that will enrich with color and significance.” You had us at Cary Grant. Don’t miss this one.
