A lover of cats, snails and precious little else, Patricia Highsmith lived a peripatetic life, spanning the United States, Mexico and Europe. In this guide we chart the places she lived and frequented and where too she located her uniquely unsettling stories and novels, among them the series beginning with The Talented Mr Ripley series, Carol aka The Price Of Salt and Strangers On A Train.\nHerb Lester Associates publish guides for tourists and locals: witty, pretty, curious and opinionated. We research, write, print and distribute maps and guides to the world's great cities. We seek out the well-used and much-loved, and enjoy the extraordinary as well as the everyday. Old bookshops and new coffee shops, park benches and dive bars, hat shops and haberdashers: this is the world according to Herb Lester.

In this guide are bars old and new for any temper; from highfalutin to homely, tranquil to raucous. A saloon for New York's beachcombers, one for philosophers, bars for scholarly pursuits and musical appreciation, a few for a good old-fashioned shot and a beer, and many more for crackerjack cocktails of the moment.
