We'll always have the Mars Bar



The Brant Foundation, which has a state-of-the-art security system over on Sixth Street, put up some low-tech plywood this past week... as other properties did around the neighborhood ...



And the first message to arrive on the plywood (on the Seventh Street side between Avenue A and First Avenue): "I miss Mars Bar" with a frowny face...



Mars Bar closed on July 18, 2011, according to the tally marks on our wall.

    Oh my God has it really been that long? The last time I was in there I was with Marty Wombacher, before he moved back to Peoria, and the place was its usual glorious rough shitty old NY self...
