 Bringing a playboy model to dinner would look like i b da man

You are likely thinking of the legendary "21" Club and its famous hidden wine cellar, which was sealed behind a massive 5,000-pound brick wall during Prohibition. To enter the secret room, staff had to insert a long metal rod into a tiny, camouflaged hole in the wall. [1, 2]
Key Details About the Hidden Cellar:
  • The Mechanism: A specialized metal rod (the "key") was required to trigger the locking mechanism that swung the massive, heavy door open. [1]
  • The Purpose: It was designed to hide and protect the establishment's massive excess wine and liquor stock from federal agents during Prohibition. [1, 2]
  • Famous Patrons: Hidden inside were private caches of wine for VIPs and celebrities, including Frank Sinatra, Joan Crawford, and Richard Nixon. [1]
  • Current Status: Sadly, the famous "21" Club on 52nd Street shut its doors indefinitely in March 2021

Though constructed one hundred years apart these temples belong together. Their myths and symbols are interconnected. They’re both ceremonial centers, power points of peace and community gathering that could play an essential role in the drama of our world in coming years. TALIS...
