A Hot Time in the Old Town
Last night, on the coldest day yet of the winter, I met up with some friends for drinks at the Old Town Bar and Grill. As frozen as it was outside, it was toasty and cozy inside this popular spot.
Built in 1892, this historic tavern retains a classic style and feel. Just a couple blocks from Union Square, it’s a convenient meeting spot. The decor reflects an older time, with ornate ceiling carvings, hanging lamps, and classic style. Bar stools and booths are available downstairs, with a traditional dining area upstairs. Good luck finding a seat in either on a Friday night, though.
After waiting for a bit, we finally got a seat at one of the downstairs booth. Our group was large, so seating was cozy. But with deliciously unhealthy pub food and drinks for all (reasonably priced), no one minded. Everyone enjoyed drinking off the work week stress in this lively atmosphere.
The fact that people have been getting drunk here for over a century adds to the warm atmosphere, making it the perfect place to relax on such a chilly evening.

LOVE IT THERE! That is where us Metblogs authors had their most recent meetup a few months back.
Try the hot dogs. They are terrific. Added bonus: One of the bar tenders could be the twin of Martin Sheen.
