The Raconteur has been called "a literary center of gravity" by The New York Times, "a literary landmark" by Time Out New York, and a "literary sanctuary" by the London Guardian. Known for its accomplished and eclectic programming, The Raconteur hosts free weekly events (author signings, film screenings, staged readings, live music) and organizes oddball literary happenings that range from Manhattan pub crawls and arm wrestling tournaments to motorcycle rides and beard growing contests.
