7B: There’s nothing fussy about 7B, which is just the way the regulars like it. Dubbed the “Horseshoe Bar” (yes, the bar is actually shaped like a U), the gritty, dark wood dinginess serves as a sanctuary for old schoolers seeking refuge from hipper surroundings. Regulars start drinking early here and we can see why—all domestic beer is $3.50 during happy hour, which stretches from noon until 7pm. A day at the Horseshoe Bar is kind of like taking a trip to the boardwalk on the Jersey shore; between the photo booth, the pinball machine, a groovy jukebox, and beer (lots of beer), the isle of Manhattan seems, for the moment, like an overpriced dream. |
