Harwood's other bar, The City Club, also on 25th Street, once had a speakeasy upstairs. The holes for the alarm wires are still there, under the carpeting, she said. The wires were set into the first, third and fifth stairs. Savvy customers would step only on the second, fourth and sixth stairs. If anyone else -- such as the cops -- stepped on the odd-numbered stairs, an alarm would sound and a large barrier door would drop into place.
