Pfaff's [from the N.Y. correspondent of the Boston <cite>Saturday Express</cite>] This celebratory description of the bohemian scene at Pfaff's depicts the bar as a sanctuary in an otherwise chaotic city. It continues, "This is the capital of BOHEMIA; this little room is the rallying-place of the subjects of King Devilmaycare; this is the anvil from which fly the brightest scintillations of the hour; this is the womb of the best things that society has heard for many-a-day; this is the trysting-place of the most careless, witty, and jovial spirits of New York,—journalists, artists, and poets."
