Secrets of New York: Speakeasies
Season 4: Ep. 4
When Congress made liquor illegal in 1920, ordinary citizens who just wanted a drink had to become criminals to get one. The law intended to shut down legal drinking establishments produced a doubling in the number of underground world speakeasies. Kelly revisits the golden era of saloon culture at Bill's Gay Nineties with an 1880s tasty and highly flammable cocktail.

Kelly ventures to mysterious islands around New York to unearth the secrets that lie hidden in their past.
