Speaker A
I heard there's this illegal bar somewhere on this street, and I am absolutely going in.
Speaker A
I have a great dress and a lot of confidence, and honestly, that's probably enough.
Speaker A
Okay, so apparently you need a password to get in. I don't have it.
Speaker A
Mr. Giovanni sent me.
Speaker A
I made that up.
Speaker A
Okay, real talk, I almost didn't come here when I found out the entire country banned alcohol, like full-on banned, prohibition styles.
Speaker A
These illegal bars are one of the few places you can actually get a drink, living life on the edge.
Speaker A
I am literally standing next to a jazz band in 1926.
Speaker A
And I need you to look at this trumpet player. Are you kidding me?
Speaker A
Strong, very strong.
Speaker A
He just acknowledged me. I'm dead.
Speaker A
Okay, so I had like a whole plan. I was going to explore more of New York City in the 1920s, see the sights, but I had too much fun at that speakeasy.
Speaker A
I definitely cannot speakeasy right now, like not even a little bit.
