- and 21's days of subverting the authorities are clearly over
Is this encyclopedic? --Dpr 15:40, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Marketing?
This article reads like a press release written by the restaurant's publicist. It has almost nothing of interest to the reader that isn't marketing-driven. --K72ndst 15:25, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
- It looks like subtle spam to me, the author has been putting dorothyparker.com links all over wikipedia (I'm currently cleaning them up). I suggest AfD'ing this article. 67.117.130.181 03:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

- No need to delete it, the place is culturally significant or whatever but it does still read like a publicity handout for tourists, no historical or industry context is given. Gwen Gale 07:04, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Question about speakeasy history
I was reading up about the speakeasy history of 21 Club; about the series of levers that disposed of the drink during raids, etc. Was this commonplace during the era? I know they had to develop various methods to avoid prosecution, but was 21 the only one to use mechanical methods? Siyavash 05:23, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Logo
I think the logo added today looks ridiculous. The photo of the exterior is much better. The addition of the logo makes it look like a marketing site. Your thoughts? -- K72ndst (talk) 18:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- It wasn't added today. It's been looking ridiculous for quite some time. :)
- Actually, if you look at the photo file itself, it's pretty nice. But the way {{Infobox Restaurant}} is coded screws up the size and makes it look awful. Aside from that, it's Fair Use and I'm not convinced it adds anything significant to the article. We already have a free photo of the exterior, so a non-free image shouldn't be needed. I'm removing it. Kafziel Talk 19:00, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
