Additions to the list:<BR/><BR/>East Village: Lucy's, Manitoba's (althought that place has been getting smarter) and Milano's on Houston.<BR/><BR/>Greenwich Village: Marie's Crisis Cafe (warning - showtunes). Arguably the upstairs bar at the Duplex, and the 55 Bar too. The Lion's Head/Monkey's Paw got cleaned up.<BR/><BR/>In Chelsea, Pete McManus.<BR/><BR/>Further downtown, they cleaned up 169 Bar, but Winnie's in Chinatown is a great dive until the late night karaoke starts - go daytime.<BR/><BR/>Uptown: The Subway Inn.<BR/><BR/>Outside Manhattan: Pedro's Spanish-American, surviving in Dumbo. Denny's Steak Pub in Kensington (no, no steak), Farrell's, Timboo's, Ruby's Old Time on Coney island.<BR/><BR/>Harlem: John's Recovery Room was the place - gone. Not exactly a dive, but the Seville Lounge is an old school treasure.<BR/><BR/>Also worth mentioning, although they're too well kept to be real dives, Jimmy's Corner off Time Square and O'Connor's in Brooklyn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-74236608032471691352008-11-05T17:42:00.000-08:002008-11-05T17:42:00.000-08:00Let me know if you do.
