A man in a red hat and a red scarf stands in front of a small cafe on an inconspicuous San Francisco street.<\/p>\n
As I approach him, he looks around to see if anyone is watching. “Do you have a light?” I ask. He pauses, shoves a small envelope into my hand, and directs me down a small, unassuming alley. As I carefully make my way down past the trash-lined street, I begin to hear the sounds of 1920’s jazz emanating from the far end of the alley. I hurry toward the sound and find myself descending a stair case. I began to notice gin barrels strewn about the secret entrance as well as a live rat in a cage, hinting at a message to any would-be informant: “Rats get caged!”<\/p>\n
I reach the bottom of the stairs and am greeted by a gentleman in a suit and fedora. With a slight accent, he welcomes me to The Speakeasy and offers to take my coat. He then pulls back a curtain, revealing a dazzling Cabaret, complete with a live band and a stage worthy of Miles Davis. I settle into a booth in the back and take a sip my complimentary glass of champagne, ready for the show to begin.<\/p>\n
