As and when

Editor: Paige N. Miller

Creative director: Patrick Dooley

The Boulevardier, in its original iteration, was a short lived yet impactful cultural compendium that experienced a five year print run between 1927 and 1932, featuring contributions from the likes of Ernest Hemingway, Louis Bromfield, and editor Arthur Moss. Created by ‘writers and wanderers who believed that evenings spent in good company could shape a life’, Moss defined a ‘boulevardier’ as someone whose ‘life is a perpetual holiday’.

Almost a century later, this reimagining carries forward the ‘heartbeat’ of its 1927 predecessor, tracing the shadows of the boulevardiers who once animated Parisian streets after dusk. Harry’s New York bartender Patrick Dooley creative directed the issue, which also pays tribute to the legendary bar itself—a long-standing haunt of literary greats that continues to hold a special place in the hearts of Parisians today.

Inside, you’ll find excerpts from the 1927 issue—including an article by a young Hemingway that was previously unknown to his family—alongside a dual recommendations list, juxtaposing Arthur Moss’ 1927 watering holes with an updated list by Aurélie Duboe. Plus, you’ll find the original Boulevardier cocktail recipe from Harry’s Bar owner Franz-Arthur MacElhone. A backdrop of Art Deco illustrations and romanticised shots of the French capital accompany pieces throughout.
