The 1920s was a decade of wealth, decadence(墮落) and social changes. They were known as the Roaring Twenties, and the best place to experience this exciting time was New York City. But what was it really like?
ProhibitionIn 1919, a new law in the US known as Prohibition made it illegal to buy and sell alcohol. But Prohibition didn’t stop people drinking; it just drove the sale of strong alcoholic drink underground. Bootleggers(走私販) waited off the coast of New York after dark and brought illegal alcohol into the city.

All the great jazz musicians played at the Cotton Club, including Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie and DukeEllington. Also, in 1942 George Gersgwin composed the jazz---influenced Rhapsody in Blue. The piece has been called “a musical portrait of New York” and was used by Woody Allen in his film Manhattan.
