I always tell this story, a bunch of us were in there having drinks before a Chillmaster dance party when I uttered the fateful words: "Wouldn't it be funny if this was the last day of the Mars Bar." It was and it didn't turn out to be funny at all. It seems like a lifetime ago.
i fell upon the mars bar 3 years ago when i first arrived in nyc..went in twice for a drink with a friend, both of us were fascinated that such a place still existed since it has the feel and the look of the east village in days gone by..sadly a year later i read that it was torn down..sad, that the east village lost a classic place like that and was replaced by just another building...
Your remarks and lively debates are welcome, whether supportive or critical of the views herein. Your articulate, well-informed remarks that are relevant to an article are welcome.
However, commentary that is intended to "flame" or attack, that contains violence, racist comments and potential libel will not be published. Facts are helpful.

As if the heat wasn't enough of a reason to have a drink today!
ReplyDeleteIt's because we talk about its closing WAY before it actually closed.
ReplyDeleteThose glass buildings break me heart...
Along with EV's soul.
