I saw this walking cross-town on 41st street last night, as I got closer to the library.
After some googling, it seems that Gertrude Stein famously said this to Ernest Hemingway.
As for what it means, and what context she said it in?
I haven't the slightest idea.
I don't consider myself an accomplished drinker. In fact I am pretty much a light weight compared to my wife, or most of the British people I have met. But I do enjoy creating drinks. A few months ago I had an excellent rum cocktail called the "Old Cuban". At the time I had the drink I was reading Ernest Hemingway's Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Old Man and the Sea.
The novella tells the story of Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who catches the fish of his life only to see most of it eaten by sharks before returning to shore.
I have had a lifelong fascination with Cuba. At one point I worked in the U.S. Senate for a senator on the Foreign Affairs Committee. He gave me several assignments dealing with Cuba and Radio Marti in particular. Radio Marti was a U.S. government funded news program that we broadcast into Cuba, aimed at providing uncensored information and promoting democracy on the island.
I decided the Keys deserve a drink inspired by Hemingway's main character in his classic book. Thus I present to you "The Santiago". So far I have made it for six people and they have loved it. Drinking more than two will probably do you in.
The itinerary included stops in Key West, Florida, and Bimini Island in the Bahamas, two charming destinations that balanced relaxation with a sense of adventure.

Plaza del Castillo features a lot in The Sun Also Rises – the location of several bars the author and the narrator of his novel liked to frequent.
"Pamplona is the capital city of the Chartered Community of Navarre, in Spain.
"Lying at near 450m (1,480 ft) above sea level, the city (and the wider Cuenca de Pamplona) is located on the flood plain of the Arga river, a second-order tributary of the Ebro. Precipitation-wise, it is located in a transitional location between the rainy Atlantic northern façade of the Iberian Peninsula and its drier inland. Early population in the settlement traces back to the late Bronze to early Iron Age, even if the traditional inception date refers to the foundation of Pompaelo by Pompey during the Sertorian Wars circa 75 BC. During Visigothic rule Pamplona became an episcopal see, serving as a staging ground for the Christianisation of the area. It later became one of the capitals of the Kingdom of Pamplona/Navarre.
"The city is famous worldwide for the running of the bulls during the San Fermín festival, which is held annually from 6 July to 14 July. This festival was brought to literary renown with the 1926 publication of Ernest Hemingway's novel The Sun Also Rises."
