I lived in NJ and once you had a draft card and drivers license that proved you were 18 you could travel to NY and go to the nightclubs. It was Sept 1961 and my “gang” and I went to The Peppermint lounge to hear and dance to Chubby Checker! There was a $5.00 cover and beer was $2.50 a bottle! It was GREAT! WE bought home napkins and glasses to prove our foray and we were heros of our Senior Class!
Wow! That’s a great story. :)
$2.50? That was some VERY expensive beer! Were you wealthy?
