Sneak Peek of my newest Ruth book!
Chayele’s building finally came into sight. It still felt so strange seeing where Chayele now lived with her husband. It was like a different world from the Lower East Side. Friedrich had grown up in the Yorkville neighborhood with its German shops, bakeries and breweries. People here still walked around wearing traditional lederhosen and dirndls. For Ruth, it recalled her brief stay all those years ago in Germany with the smuggler– the kindness of Gerta, her ginger cookies and the taste of that golden, hoppy beverage for the first time.
Ruth had since tasted beer many times in America– most often right here in the many saloons of Yorkville with Chayele and Friedrich. But since Prohibition was declared, the distinctive and once prevalent smell of hops in the air was missing. Some of the breweries were trying to offer low alcohol content beers, but the taste was noticeably different and they weren’t catching on. Ruth noticed more shuttered saloons than before. She wondered how much longer the remaining saloons and breweries could hold out.
She entered Chayele’s building and climbed the stairs. The smooth banister felt like butter beneath her fingers, bringing to mind Tatty’s boasts about the architecture on their own “new” building. Yes, their new building had been a step up, for sure. But all the buildings up here on the Upper East Side made theirs look shabby in comparison. There was also just a different kind of tenant here in the building, more moneyed and put together.
