New York, NY, United States
The Algonquin Hotel. Site of the legendary Algonquin Round Table of the 1920s, where such acid-tongued wits as Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley and Alexander Woollcott traded barbs and bon mots daily over lunch. The century's literary luminaries -- William Faulkner, Sinclair Lewis, Harold Ross of The
New Yorker, Gertrude Stein and James Thurber, among countless others -- also found a haven within its oak-lined walls.
