The Back Fence: Escape the standard Village bars and embrace the sawdust floors, stale cigarette stench, and good old Budweisers at The Back Fence. “American tapas”—aka peanuts—accompany every beverage or brew, while performers who actually have talent perform feel-good songs for a feel-good bar. Whether a gift or a curse, it’s bars like this that are responsible for Bleecker Street’s popularity with locals and tourists alike. But think twice before bringing your girlfriend if she’s looking for the perfect lychee martini and tell her to leave the Manolos at home. |
