The Algonquin has a rich literary history. Famous wits of the post-World War I era used it as their stomping grounds - Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, Harpo Marx, George S. Kaufman, Charles MacArthur, and more.
The hotel has another claim to fame in the fact that it is haunted. The Vicious Circle, as they called themselves, have been seen on more than one occasion in their favorite watering hole. Guests have experienced strange phenomena in the elevator, when the doors open at floors to reveal no one waiting for it. A photo of Dorothy Parker once fell to the floor, breaking the glass.
Non-guests can try their luck at ghost-spotting by taking one of the hotel's "Round Table" tours.
