The reading party—which is free, and is tonight from 6 pm to 9 pm, and consists of nothing more than you showing up with whatever you feel like reading and sitting in the best-shaped room in the city, reading and drinking among other people reading and drinking (follow that link for more info)—now has a drink special: The Perfect Manhattan. It is $4.* Also, there will be glasses of wine for $4.

It has not been quite so slammed lately—you should be able to get a seat. Come tonight if you haven't been. Bring whatever.

* Recently I put it to the owners of the hotel to come up with a cheaper drink for the Reading Party than the $6 beer and cocktails on their happy-hour menu. Cuz how happy is a $6 drink? And they came through! In honor of the new drink special(s), reading-party art-manipulator Vlad Verano added Manhattans to this week's image of the Fireside Room. For some reason, he also added Al Gore and meerkats. Enjoy!
