And, rather randomly, the other NYC bars to make the Go Guide: Pegu Club, Terroir, Louis 649 and Pacha.
So, what's left of the city's "gritty past" has become something for tourists (or visitors!) to gawk at?

Which may explain why all those people on Flight 375 from Orlando were at the Mars Bar
A friend passed along an issue of Go, the AirTran in-flight magazine... Aside from being a pretty snazzy airline publication... its Go Guides in the back of the magazine included a listing for the Mars Bar...

very creepy.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be very difficult to describe the Mars Bar in one sentence.
ReplyDeleteI'd say the Go Guide represents the bigger truth. Time to get another dive bar.
ReplyDeleteMars needs to put a velvet rope in front of the door so tourists can lean in and take pics of the patrons. $5 extra to experience the bathrooms.
ReplyDelete@Goggla.... and $10 to USE the bathrooms....
ReplyDeleteIsn't time we all learned the basics of pickpocketing?
ReplyDeleteholy crap. "step right up and get your authentic east village experience..."
ReplyDeleteFYI it's AirTran not AirTrain. Not to nitpick but AirTrain sounds cool, AirTran definitely isn't. (When I was typing AirTran I mispelled it as AirTart. Now that would be a fine airline name, and I'd be happy to sit next to its passengers at Mars.)
ReplyDeleteHa! Thanks Paul. I guess I thought AirTrain sounded cooler too and typed it in that way...
ReplyDeleteah mars bar...I guess people are looking to stab me kill me slice me why me do want to hurt me I don't even go to the Mars Bar anymore.What's the hell is going on.
