Notorious Bars
By Erin Behan, New York
What tales are lurking beneath the surface of your favorite late-night haunt?
-
Chumley's Bar
86 Bedford St, New York, NY
Relive Prohibition and slip into this Greenwich Village speakeasy with the false entrance still intact. -
Tao
42 E 58TH St, New York, NY
Still hip and fabulous--thanks in part to the filming of several "Sex and the City" flirtations. -
Level V
675 Hudson St, New York, NY
In a previous life, this subterranean club was one of the Meatpacking District's more infamous S&M haunts. -
Double Happiness--CLOSED
173 Mott St, New York, NY
This super-dark hideout retains the illicit appeal that drew crowds during its incarnations as a speakeasy and mob-run gay bar.
