Day 8: The White Horse Tavern
Historic Bar Krawl Day 6: Pete’s Tavern
If we have learned anything from this historical bar krawl, it is that facts and dates are substantially folklore, somewhat questionable, and often contended. Such as the longstanding argument over which of these historical taverns is the oldest continuously operating. Most, but not all, agree it is either Pete’s Tavern or McSorley’s. Pete’s Tavern, located just... Continue Reading →
Historical Krawl, Day 4: To the Bridge
Today we are krawling down Water Street, all the way to South Seaport and east to the Brooklyn Bridge, in search of The Bridge Café. By some accounts, one of the oldest drinking establishments in Manhattan. Opening in 1795 at 279 Water Street, the corner of Water and Dover, The Bridge Café is one of... Continue Reading →
Ten in Ten: A Krawl through New York’s Historical Taverns
Manhattan is rich in history. But where is history best preserved? What locations best hold the mysteries of past generations? We set out on a quest to answer this question and arrived at our somewhat disputable answer. The Taverns. With histories checkered, colorful and preceding the birth of our nation, we thought it would be... Continue Reading →

Most galleries in the area open their doors, provide offerings of cheese and wine, and promote their... Continue Reading →
Tag, You’re It
JAM came across something interesting to do. We went down to the East Village along Houston Street (they mispronounce it here). But first….. Across from Shimmels bakery is the 1st Green Street Art Park. This is a line of walls where some of the most politico-socio relevant street artwork in New York City is on... Continue Reading →
Cheek Kisses and Crepes
Her bright blue eyes beckoned to us as we entered. A smile made its way across her gentle face. It was clear she had something to share with us. Hugs all around, and the now familiar greeting, a kiss on each cheek. She says it is the French way. We met Louise one Sunday morning... Continue Reading →
Worth the effort
Getting there was anything but simple. With the N train in Astoria closed for track repairs, reaching the Wellington Court Project was anything but easy. It started with a one mile walk to get to the N train which took us only another mile where we caught the Tram to Roosevelt island. On Roosevelt Island... Continue Reading →
