The Village Crawl
Six legendary bars, 170 years of stories.
A crawl through Greenwich Village and the East Village where the drinks come with history: Dylan Thomas's last round, the Stonewall uprising, Hendrix's first stage, and sawdust floors unchanged since 1854. Pace yourselves — the points are at the bottom of the story, not the glass.
The stops
1880 saloon of poets. Raise a glass where Dylan Thomas raised too many — recite any two lines of poetry to your table.
Photo by the Stonewall National Monument in Christopher Park. In your note: one sentence on why this corner matters.
Where Dylan and Hendrix got their start. Best air-guitar under the awning — full commitment or no points.
Photo at the 1937 neon. +5 with a Black Label burger on the table — the judges accept delicious evidence.
"Light or dark" — the whole menu since 1854. Photo with both mugs; sawdust on your shoes counts as proof.
NYC's oldest continuously operating bar (1864). Toast O. Henry in the booth nearest his plaque.
