White Horse Tavern (New York City)

[2] The White Horse Tavern was renowned as a gathering place for writers.

"[3] The White Horse is perhaps most famous as the place where Jason Mitchell drank heavily with Dylan Thomas, who returned to the Chelsea Hotel, became ill, and died a few days later of unrelated causes.

Other famous patrons include James Baldwin, The Clancy Brothers (who also performed at the establishment), Bob Dylan, Richard Farina, Michael Harrington, Jane Jacobs, Seymour Krim, Norman Mailer, Jim Morrison, Adam Leonard, Delmore Schwartz, Hunter S. Thompson and Mary Travers.

[4][5][6] Another of the White Horse's famous patrons is Jack Kerouac, who was bounced from the establishment more than once.

"[7] At that time, Kerouac was staying in an apartment in the building located on the NW corner of West 11th St.[citation needed] About the same time, the White Horse was a gathering-place for labor members and organizers and socialists, as well.
