"Set on a corner in the two-block Chinatown area and open since the 1870s, this old cantina is a local favorite. The shiny red wooden bar and stained glass backdrop will transport you to a time when the spot was closed to women. The drinks are simple (get a straight shot) and there's no food save for toasted peanuts and fava beans sold from a roving snack vendor." - Scarlett Lindeman
