The status of some South Street Seaport bars two weeks after Sandy

We took a short walk through the area recently.  In short, many of the bars remain closed.  Only Jeremy’s Ale House and Meade’s were open for business at the time of our brief tour.  Everything else we passed by was not open, including Heartland Brewery, Fresh Salt, Stella, Keg 229, Bin 220, Nelson Blue and the Paris Cafe.  If you know a more detailed status of any of these bars, please drop us a comment or email.  We hope every single establishment can re-open.  We’ve enjoyed all of them on several occasions.  Below are a few photos from our tour.

Is a new bar coming to 77 Delancey Street in Manhattan?

On a recent walk by the southeastern corner of Allen & Delancey Streets on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, it was noticed that some work was being done inside the establishment formerly known as White Slab Palace (we wrote about White Slab Palace’s closing in a post mentioning the paring down of the LES craft-beer focused NYC bar crawl).  The doors and windows were open and two people were working on the bar area.  The physical bar was still in the same place as before.  Do you know what is going into this spot?  Pub Crawl Brooklyn would like to know!  Share your comment here.

RIP, Lakeside Lounge; you will be missed

Lakeside Lounge, located on Avenue B in Alphabet City, is closing for business on April 30.  Here is a recent New York Times article: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/23/nyregion/gritty-musical-mainstay-will-close-in-the-east-village.html

A great spot, Lakeside Lounge’s closure is just another example of the impact of the demographic changes happening in the East Village/Alphabet City and a good chunk of Manhattan as a whole.  If you can, try and visit Lakeside Lounge one last time.
