Golly, you just bought a new frock and toque with a veil and ostrich feather on eBay and you look like Myrna Loy. You need to find some other jazz babies who’ll appreciate your look. And you want to see what they’re wearing while sipping Sidecars in a room filled with Deco zig zags. Or maybe you want to see a Buster Keaton movie in an actual theater with three thousand other fans. Or learn more about The City’s Jazz Age architecture. Or tap your foot to the sounds of Fats Waller or Louis Armstrong, or dance the Charleston to a song written before your Granny was born. You need to find your people! Where are they?
