McSorley's Old Ale House
Oldest continuously operating pub in the United States. It was established in NYC in 1854. Although the neighborhood obviously use to be Irish, when I went it seemed to be all Eastern European...Ukrainian maybe.
In the other direction is the bar. Above it there are old chandeliers with wishbones that date back to the Civil War from soldiers getting ready to head off to war. They're so old dust stalactites hang from the bones.
I think we ordered these beers in fours...or sixes, I can't remember - four/six for each hand of the server. You order either a light or a dark. If I remember correctly it's their own beer. One of their food specialties is onions and Saltines.
Great urinals, eh? Are those art deco Sarge?
