The Mermaid Speakeasy
Between 1928 and 1932, New York was averaging about 780 deaths per year from alcohol poisoning alone. That feels like a pretty low number for an era when alcohol was literally poison. The Mermaid Speakeasy is located on 3775, third avenue in the Bronx. Just one bar in a city of 7 million people in 1930.
