On Saturday, February 6th from 4:00pm – 6:00pm, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts as they host their longtime friend Steven Rea in a celebration of the publication of his new book Hollywood Café: Coffee With The Stars.

Put on a pot of your favorite coffee, perk up, and enjoy nostalgic black-and-white photos that celebrate screen icons from the Silent Era through the eighties making and drinking their own cups of joe, java, pour-overs, and percolated brews. Hollywood Café bridges the vibrant coffee culture of the present with the glamorous coffee culture of the star-studded past. A cast of nearly two hundred stars – including Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, Jane Fonda, Ava Gardner, and many more – is captured on the set, on the run, in costume and out, behind-the-scenes, and at the kitchen table refilling and refueling, sipping and savoring, drinking the good stuff, just like us.

Plus, enjoy divine, freshly-brewed coffee graciously provided by Cognoscenti Coffee!  RSVP for planning purposes by kindly emailing to let them know you’ll be there.
