The Spanish Taverna was glimpsed briefly in Taxi Driver. I'm sure whatever replaces it will be in a Katherine Heigl movie before too long.

Am depressed about Bill's Gay 90s. Wonder what'll become of the magical time-warp rooms upstairs?
The list of places I'll never again be able to afford just grows and grows.
"Speakeasy style".Ugh.
Bill's Gay 90's- So I guess literally nothing in this city can remain untouched... literally NOTHING.
It survived the Great Depression, WWII, the 50's,60's,70's,80's,90's and first decade of the 21st century, but it can't make it through the Great Blandification without getting burned.
The egomaniacal developers and con artists who can't walk by a space with soul and history without being overwhelmed by the urge to either over renovate it into meaninglessness, or just knock it down entirely.
I would tell them to go to hell, but we're already there.
amen to that, Caleo. this one pisses me off royally.
That's New York City....always changing!
"Growlers and high chairs" for god's sake. Leave the brats at home if you're going out for a drink! Or give a local teenager his/her first job and hire him/her to babysit! My parents NEVER took us into bars when we were little. And I certainly don't want to patronize a bar that is crawling with kids. What is wrong with these people?
I think Zito's is having a laugh at the Have-It-All Mamanista and Papanistas.
They should have a beer called the "I Am An Awesome Parent Chai Tea Harvest Pale Ale"
