Love in Greenwich Village

Floyd Dell's book Love in Greenwich Village described this former speakeasy on West Ninth Street. In 1920, the regulars filed through a dark-panelled portal three steps down from the pavement. Paul & Joe's was a place where people wanted to be delivered to temptation - - or wanted sin to stay in touch.
• • Visiting Texas (Guinan) in New York at 62 West Ninth Street was a rep from the Office of the Manhattan Boro President, Shaan Khan, Community Liasion.

• • Paying her respects was also Louise Berliner, who wrote a well-received bio of Texas Guinan that enthralled Madonna and Martin Scorsese. Gary Shapiro, "The Knickerbocker" columnist for The New York Sun, is a lawyer as well as a journalist. He wanted to hear more about the legal prowess of Maxwell E. Lopin, whose most famous client was Texas Guinan. Louise Berliner is the granddaughter of Lopin, whose work inspired her to get to the truth behind the legendary speakeasy hostess.
