The East Village has been many things: punk rock, hardcore, gangster, folk, anti-folk, Nuyorican, experimental, beat, post-modern, Warholian. It even hit Broadway in Rent. Today, developers are trying to move in but locals are fighting to hold their ground in Alphabet City.
Think coffee to go but instead of coffee you’re sipping on meaty-flavored broth.
Their claim to fame? McSorley’s is the oldest bar in NYC. You have 2 options when you come here, light or dark ale. Although you are seated at communal tables there is no sharing! This 150-year-old tradition is a rule here and you might get called out if you try to share. It can be somewhat touristy but a fun place to visit.
