The place is hard to find, hidden away in an alley UNDER the highway. The bar is small, with friendly staff, and the new breed of customer that NEVER SITS DOWN if they're not eating. We've seen it before, starting a couple months ago. Ai thinks it's a new young people's fashion. STAY STANDING WITH A BEER IN YOUR HAND... EVEN IF ALL THE TABLES ARE EMPTY. I don't get it. Maybe it means you're tough and don't have to sit down. Maybe it's a way of avoiding a table tip and sticking to a dollar a drink. I donno. Can someone fill me in on this? By the way, the food was excellent, if a bit pricey. Tortilla pizzas, toast with lox and prosciutto. The staff was friendly and tolerant of us moving around. The crowd thinned out at 10:45. I guess that's when the train leaves to wherever. I say, let the idiots stand, take a table and enjoy yourself! --Drink Club NYC is a roving group of NYC drinkers.
Pros: great service, unique food, nice decor
Cons: hard to find, somewhat pricey
