HOLLYWOOD ENDING

A Ton of Famous Stuff for the Taking

Today: a great day for new spring clothes. Like a suit from Frank Sinatra. Or a jacket from Steve McQueen. Or... any of the 815 iconic artifacts up for grabs at the Hollywood Legends auction.

Here’s what you have here: fancy bitters. Bacon peanut brittle. Sri Lankan cinnamon. Pasta noodles shaped with bronze molds in Italy. Just a huge treasury of things that make your mouth water, your taste buds tingle and your cocktails go down a little easier—all shipped from Brooklyn. You knew Brooklyn would be involved.
