One Story is a non-profit literary magazine that features one great short story mailed to subscribers every three weeks. Our mission is to save the short story by publishing in a friendly format that allows readers to experience each story as a stand-alone work of art and a simple form of entertainment. One Story is designed to fit into your purse or pocket, and into your life.
The One Story Cocktail Hour & Reading Series is a chance for One Story readers and One Story writers to meet, enjoy a cocktail, and mingle in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Part private party, part showcase. And just like One Story magazine, one author has the chance to take the spotlight.The night's reader will choose their FAVORITE COCKTAIL and this FAVORITE COCKTAIL will be sold at a fair and reduced price from 6:30pm until 8:00pm.All of this will take place at Pianos, which is located at 158 Ludlow St. at Stanton St. on the Lower East Side NYC.
