La Maison du bootlegger
|
But what does bootlegger mean? Why give this name to a house? And when we know that bootlegger means an alcohol smuggler and that this house was very sought-after during the Prohibition, the name takes all its sense. Throughout the years, this illegal house has transformed to become a renowned restaurant where everyone comes for the food as well as for the exciting remnants of the past.
