The Man Behind The Name
Ever wonder where the name Runyon's came from? Here is a brief insight into a legendary man:
Alfred Damon Runyon was a famous newspaperman and writer. Born on October 4, 1884, he was best known for his short stories celebrating the world of Broadway in New York City that really came out of the Prohibition era. He created hilarious tales of gamblers, hustlers, actors, and gangsters. Runyon moved to New York City in 1910. For the next ten years he covered the New York Giants and professional boxing for the New York American. In his first New York byline, the American editor dropped the "Alfred," and the name "Damon Runyon" appeared for the first time. He was known for being a heavy drinker as a young man, although seemed to have quit drinking soon after arriving in New York. It was known that his drinking nearly cost him the courtship of the woman who became his first wife, Ellen . He did remain a heavy smoker throughout his life. Many of Damon Runyon's stories became adapted for the stage and screen. Some include Guys and Dolls, The Lemon Drop Kid and Lady for a Day. He died in New York City at the age of 62.
