The $3 Tavern picks up where 1 Republik Lounge left off. The space at 613 Second Avenue has changed names, but the look and feel of $3 Tavern is pretty much the same as its previous incarnation (it’s still a good candidate for the Murray Hill NYC dive bar crawl). As one sign hanging behind the bar shows, the drink prices are very affordable for Manhattan.
That’s what we’ve been wondering recently. Check out Shecky’s description of ten Beer Gardens in the city. Pub Crawl NYC regularly uses Shecky’s for its new bar listings and has no problems with any of the places Shecky’s mentioned as all ten are solid spots. But, how can you omit Bohemian Hall in Astoria from such a list? Bohemian Hall is the last of the original Beer Gardens in the city. We’ve written about Bohemian Hall before it remains one of our favorite outdoor spots. The only reason we can think of for the omission was that Shecky’s list was a Brooklyn-Manhattan only list. Otherwise, there’s no explanation. What are your thoughts? Share them here.
Pub Crawl NYC took a break from bar hopping to view a unique sunset. Manhattanhenge, when the sunset lines up exactly with the east-west streets in Manhattan. Looking west from 14th and 4th:
Total number of days crawled: 3
Total number of miles walked: 7
Total number of hours crawling: 13
Total number of bars visited: 16
Check back over the next several days for some brief reviews of spots visited.
Pub Crawl NYC will be crisscrossing Manhattan during the long weekend. The plan is to hit a number of recently-opened spots. Check back over the next several days for some of the highlights of these bar visits.
Memorial Day weekend just may be Pub Crawl NYC’s favorite weekend of the year. Sometimes it’s good to go away, other times, it’s good to stick around town and go on a NYC bar crawl or three. The weather almost always delivers and it’s the unofficial beginning of summer. It was on a Memorial Day weekend long ago that we participated in our very first pub crawl. So, whether you’re staying in town or traveling for the long weekend, have a great time, stay safe and happy pub crawling!
Located in the southwest corner of Bryant Park, the Southwest Porch (Southwest as in the airline) offers a medium-sized outdoor area for imbibing. The place is commercial (the servers wear Southwest airline T-shirts and peanuts are served in the typical airline-sized pouch). If you can get passed that, the place is a decent option for afterwork drinks, especially now that the warm weather has arrived.
