McSorley’s Old Ale House

"Grab an ale at this beloved New York institution and have a seat near the fire. The fireplace, by the way, has a banner that reads “bible house” across the mantel, pointing to the building’s past as a bible manufacturing center. Founded in 1854 and still retaining many of the original fixtures, McSorley’s serves only its own ale — dark or light — and provides an accurate picture of what bars were like in the 19th century. Cash only." - Eater Staff
