ABOUT LCBC
Literary Cocktailers Book Club (LCBC) started in 2015 as a book club on Meetup.com. The founder created LCBC to make new friends, explore all that NYC has to offer, and have intellectual discussions with all types of people. The mission is the same today. Now LCBC is a small company that organizes monthly book club events and mails the monthly book to members. We are now fundraising so that we can grow our membership base and this event will be the kick-off for it.
