Dirty Old King Cole
In: Art and Culture
17 Jan 2007
The New York Times has an article today on the renovation of the bar at the St. Regis that houses the Maxfield Parrish painting of Old King Cole. It’s a great painting, and a favorite spot of mine to drop twenty bucks on a manhattan.
The last time I was there a guy told me the reason the page is snickering is because the Old King had just let one rip. Not an SBD, I’m assuming.
