Bright Lights, Big City

by Jay McInerney (1984)

145 West Broadway, Tribeca

The Odeon in Tribeca was the quintessential 1980s New York restaurant and the spiritual home of Jay McInerney's Bright Lights, Big City. Its art-deco interior and late-night scene made it the gathering place for the novel's world of excess, ambition, and disillusionment.
