I have really embraced the East Village. I think it’s considered one of the oldest areas of the city and definitely has a lot of history in it as well.

The oldest bar in New York City still has a place in lower east side’s hip surroundings. They didn’t start letting women in until the 70s but it’s been around since 1857. People who go to McSorley’s know they only have two choices of beer–McSorley’s Light and McSorley’s Dark–and they are served in pairs because their mugs are a wee bit smaller than a pint. $8 for four mugs is a good way to start your night with their burger and fries.

I took a short stroll on 7th Street this evening for a bit of nostalgia. One bar in particular was the scene of many long, very long lunches back when Bar Man had a real job. Drinking four, six, and even more beers at a time, cascading the beer from one mug to another, was one of our favorite pastimes. And ordering sixty beers at a time wasn’t at all uncommon.

Benjamin Franklin may have discovered that lightning conducted electricity, invented bifocals, and founded UPenn, but his greatest contribution to every college student's life is a quote. "Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy," Ben once wrote. With wisdom this powerful, it's no wonder America honored him on the hundred dollar bill.
