Housing Works Bookstore Cafe on Tumblr
With the New York publishing industry at the height of its holiday fever, there was a lot to see and do in December. Here are a few of the highlights from the season, as well a note from a much needed escape.
December 7 Housing Works Gin Mingle. The annual literary gathering that marks the official start to the publishing holiday season. The Housing Works Bookstore is a wonderfully old space in SoHo, with all proceeds going to help homeless people with AIDS. The Gin Mingle is a crush of young publishing types straining to be heard over the thumping music while stealing glances at the likes of Colson Whitehead and Lynne Tillman. Yes, Jon-Jon was there.

This year there was even break dancing!
