I'm not championing the rights of rodents to ride mass transit. However, I'd like to stomp the jerk who stomped that rat.

Asian Pub will be sorely missed. I feel like at this rate every inexpensive drinking establishment in Manhattan will be forced out of business in 5 years. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that at least Iggy's stays open.
