Easter Sunday is not the same without Mars Bar


Thanks to @saywhatagain for the photo from the plywood at the former bar...

A flashback to last Easter Sunday at the Mars Bar via Marty After Dark ... seems like a lifetime ago already...

    Get the fuck over it, my dear friends, ..the Mars Bar was established circa 1985/86. I've been living here since the early 70's and we've always had an Easter. The Mars Bar is so totally inconsequential to my / our existence. But if it's that important to you...good luck.

    Meaning absolutely no disrespect to the Mars Bar, could you entertain the notion that there was a very vibrant EV community prior to MB's inception in 1986 or whenever? In a way, it seems to me, the owners and patrons of MB try to piggyback themselves on the efforts of so many progressive individuals now silenced or not tech-savvy enough to represent themselves. I moved down here in 1972 when the EV was in its formative years. Believe me, there was no MB on 1st Street. Actually, there were very few bars in the neighborhood, period. But there was a bar on First and First, by the same name. The most racially integrated place in New York City. Now you're bringing back memories...

    @Uncle Waltie: Some of us had some memorable Easter Sunday's in here. That's all this is about. It's just about memories and missing a place where good friends gathered. Sip Ahoy!

    one word to the spate of condo-ism on the rise in Lower Manhattan's neighborhoods: ugh.

    they are swapping out the best and most irreplacable things for the worst and most homogenized things. that is what i call heartbreaking.
    period. end of story.
