TRIBECA IN THE ’80S, ON THE PAGE
Authors Laura Scalzo and Kerri Schlottman will be discussing New York City in the 1980s — and here — and how it inspired their recently launched novels, on Sept. 28, 6:30p, upstairs at Monk McGinn’s. Both women have deep Tribeca roots and both of their books reflect that. Laura worked at The Sporting Club in the mid-80s and spent all her tips at Puffy’s; her book, “American Arcadia,” is partly set in a Tribeca loft on Franklin Street. Kerri had worked at Apexart for many years and her book, “Tell Me One Thing,” also takes place in the ’80s and includes downtown scenes like the Mudd Club. The event is free; register here.
