Find yourself at The Bitter End, a venue that claims to be New York City’s oldest rock and roll club.
The mission: Your story in New York City
Today might just be the day, though. Your editor has arranged for you to interview Bob Dylan. She tells you to meet him in The White Horse Tavern on Hudson Street, but he’s notoriously unreliable. You might have to go looking for him, and he doesn’t like being found. Nor does he like journalists.
