Harry's bar, which is one of the most famous bar in the world, was frequented by famous people like Ernest Hemingway and Rita Hayworth and It was here also at the piano that George Gershwin composed "An American in Paris".
York Bar, where the Bloody Mary, the Side Car and other cocktails were born, and which will celebrate its 100th anniversary next November 26, 2011. A waiter prepares a Bloody Mary cocktail on Novemin Paris, at the famous Harry's New.
