Issue 1: The Anniversary Edition
In 1927, at Harry's Bar in Paris, expat Erskine Gwynne gathered his circle of writers—including Ernest Hemingway, Louis Bromfield, and Arthur Moss—around a magazine called The Boulevardier. It was sharp, irreverent, and alive with the electricity of café society. By 1932, it had disappeared… until now.
Nearly a century later, The Boulevardier returns, bridging Paris of the ’20s with Paris today.
This isn’t just a magazine. It’s a gathering. A party on paper. A literary cocktail hour. Featuring contemporary essays by Aaron Goldfarb, Brett F. Braley-Palko, Mr. Harrison Sr., Georgette Moger, and cocktail historians Jared Brown & Anistatia Miller, alongside art, photography, and cocktail writing that carry the spirit of Gwynne’s original circle into the present.
And at its heart: a newly rediscovered piece by Ernest Hemingway, unseen for nearly 100 years and printed here for the very first time.
The Boulevardier is a conversation across time—born at Harry’s, revived from the archives, and poured fresh for today.
A note for our readers in the United States: Shipping an individual magazine across the Atlantic isn’t very glamorous, and at the moment, it’s quite costly. You’ll see that reflected in the shipping price at checkout. Rest assured that we’re actively working with fulfillment partners to establish U.S.-based distribution, with plans to significantly reduce shipping costs in January. Thank you for your patience as we sort the logistics to make that possible.
