Fri. 12:06 pm ET-In June 1919, a few of New York’s literati met at the Algonquin Hotel at lunchtime to welcome Alexander Woollcott back from the war. It was so much fun, they met again the day after, and the day after that. They kept it up for over ten years, until many of the group left the city. This was the Algonquin Round Table. This week, Leigh and P.T. explore the wit and works of the Round Table. Join us at 12:06 this Friday for a discussion of the group that defined humor and sophistication for post war New York. 05/31/2019
