We came across a Thrillist feature recently, exhibiting their 33 best dive bars in the United States.  The link to the article is here: http://dld.bz/cUQyx.  Of these 33 bars, only two are located in New York City, both in Brooklyn (Sunset Park’s Irish Haven and Williamsburg’s Turkey’s Nest).  Alas, none listed in Manhattan.  True dive bars are nearly extinct in Manhattan nowadays.
