The Algonquin Hotel commemorates the 90th Anniversary of the famed Algonquin Round Table, a celebrated group of New York writers, critics, actors and, most memorably, incredible wits, who met nearly every day for lunch at The Algonquin Hotel from 1919-1929.
Often referred to as "The Ten Year Lunch", the group's charter members included Robert Benchley, Marc Connelly, Edna Ferber, George S. Kaufman, Alexander Woollcott, Heyward Broun, Franklin P. Adams, Robert Sherwood, Frank Case and, most famously, Dorothy Parker. These great minds thrived on witty repartee and incisive criticism, which is why they are often also referred to as the "Vicious Circle".
I'll be there - with bells on. (See the post in the "New York" section of today's Huffington Post.

Hi Jane,
I'm a new author from the San Francisco Bay area who stayed at the Algonquin (to celebrate my book's release). I heard part of the panel last Monday night. I blogged about it and thought you'd like to read it:
