Speak Swordfish, and Enter

November 13, 2019

The public Borsalino reveal took place at a culturally appropriate venue, a speakeasy,  where I enjoyed my long-delayed birthday dinner. The bookshelf behind me is a secret door.  The password was not “Swordfish.” Vernon’s Speakeasy cooks a damn good meal, but a degree of romance is lost by the fact of alcohol now being legal. On the […]
