Sunny's Nights: Lost and Found at a Bar on the Edge of the World
by Tim Sultan - Memoir, Nonfiction

The first time he saw Sunny’s Bar, in 1995, Tim Sultan was lost, thirsty for a drink and intrigued by the single bar sign among the forlorn warehouses lining the Brooklyn waterfront. Soon enough, Sultan has quit his office job to bartend full-time for Sunny Balzano, the bar’s owner. A wild-haired Tony Bennett lookalike with a fondness for quoting Shakespeare and Samuel Beckett, Sunny is truly one of a kind. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly transforming city, SUNNY'S NIGHTS is a loving and singular portrait of the dream experience we’re all searching for every time we walk into a bar, and an enchanting memoir of an unlikely and abiding friendship.
