Shanghai Mermaid
join us in
jazz age cuba, an
island paradise with
swaying palms and endless
fields of sugarcane. havana was a
city exempt from prohibition, so the
rum flowed freely, and people flocked to
the city called the paris of the caribbean.
join us as we step back into a sultry evening
of rumba, daiquiris, and candlelight. join
us at a clandestine spot known for
its music and romance. dance
with us to the sounds of
1920's and '30's
havana.

LOCATION
The Back Room
102 norfolk street, nyc 10002
enter through the small gate that says
"lower east side toy company", walk through
the alleyway and up the stairs at the end. this is
the same hidden entrance used during prohibition
by meyer lansky, bugsy siegel and other gangsters.
the space at that time was just called "the back
of ratner's". ratner's was a famous kosher
dairy restaurant on delancey
from 1905 to 2004.
i look forward to
seeing you on the 30th!
with all that's going on in the
world, i thought it might be nice
to have an evening where we just
relax, dance, and listen to some
fantastic music. thank you for
being a part of keeping
nyc nightlife
alive.
