"Jerry’s Bar on West Fifty-fourth Street, across from the old Ziegfeld Theatre, was one of Jimmy’s favorite New York hangouts. Don’t assume he’s passed out because he’s had too much beer. Jimmy was an insomniac – the worst I’ve ever met – so at odd times and odd places he would simply pass out, for a few minutes or a few hours, then wake up and set out again. He lived like a stray animal; in fact, come to think of it, he was a stray animal. He had a couple of favorite spots on the East Coat, and two or three more on the West Coast."
