Thank you, Lizzy Kremer, for mixing patience and wit into a devastating agent cocktail, stirred with the swizzle stick of charming practicality, and spiked with something a bit kicky. And thanks to David Forrer and Kim Witherspoon for your equally potent Manhattan version (with a stack of nibbles on the side).
Thank you, Sara Kinsella and Isobel Akenhead at Hodder, for improving Honey no end, and Maggie Crawford and Mara Sorkin at Pocket, for my rough guide to New York and New Yorkers.
Finally, I’m indebted to the Jonathans, Rogers, Nelsons, and Godrics I know – so much so, in fact, that I won’t thank them by name. Drinks all round, chaps. You’re the best.
