A Parting Glass for the Ritz-Carlton’s Norman Bukofzer
One of the late, great barman’s best customers, Liam Neeson, presided from a “fecking” sickbed upstairs as drinkers toasted the guy who’d served Jodie Foster, Ralph Fiennes, Bono, Joe Torre, and Bette Davis, Zach Helfand writes.
"Norman said to me, 'Liam, I didn't know you're a Deadhead.' I said, 'What?' The gentleman I'd been talking to was Jerry Garcia." — Liam Neeson
