I'll have to check this place out, Jeremiah. Usually it's nothing but bad news when we hear about new establishments opening their doors on this blog but for once it looks like a genuine bar with genuine ownership (and hopefully genuine patrons) is back. Quite a rarity in the East Village these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
