November 8th, 2011
Royal Teens co-founder, “Short Shorts” co-writer, and artist Tom Austin has an exciting new project! He has co-authored a book with sociologist Ron Kase that pays tribute to Fort Lee, New Jersey’s famed Riviera nightclub! Check out details of this fantastic new book:
Where did Frank Sinatra, Mickey Mantle, Sugar Ray Robinson, Ava Gardner and hundreds of other A-listers—along with mobsters like Frank Costello and Meyer Lansky—eat, drink and enjoy fabulous entertainment? It wasn’t in Hollywood but at Bill Miller’s Riviera in Fort Lee, New Jersey. The Riviera’s breathtaking views of the George Washington Bridge, its stunning showgirls and its secret gambling casino drew the famous and the infamous to its tables. Bill Miller’s Riviera was perched on the edge of the Palisades and attracted the most sought-after performers of the day when nightclubs were the only place they could be seen. Relive the days of the Riviera and experience Bill Miller’s special touch.
