i t h t he end of Prohibition in 1 93 3 , Fernand Petiot arrived from Harry’s New York Bar in Paris to preside over the St. Regis Hotel’s new King Cole Bar. The name came from Maxfield Parrish’s 2 5 foot long King Cole mural, and the combination of Parrish and Petiot quickly made the King Cole one of the liveliet places in a lively town. It became the regular haunt for a fabled coterie of wild and colorful charaers, and Petiot began to serve them the drink that he called the Red Snapper – soon to be known the world over as the Bloody Mary.
