There’s the “not bar crawl” called Santa Con NYC, starting early on Saturday, December 15.  If it’s anything like previous years, it will be a good time.

A few weeks go, we reported that most of the South Street Seaport bars were still closed for business in the Sandy aftermath.  We took another visit there recently and are unhappy to report that not much has improved.  Of the bars closed three weeks ago, Heartland Brewery, Fresh Salt, Stella, Keg 229, Bin 220, Nelson Blue and the Paris Cafe, all remain closed and most entrances to those bars indicate “Restricted Use Only”.  A couple of photos below.

If you know a more detailed status of any of the bars listed above, please drop us a note.

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.
