Old Town Bar wins the Golden Local

The Proper Pour

Old Town Bar wins Golden Local


NBCNewYork.com had readers vote in an epic debate about which of two NYC bars was the better "old" bar. The Old Town Bar on 18th street won. Gerard Meagher, the co-owner of the bar, served champagne to all his patrons to celebrate the win. Guiness was, of course, still available. See the rest of the Golden Local gallery here.

Stumblebum Brass Band

This is the second time I've caught Stumblebum Brass Band at around midnight at the 6th Avenue L stop. They've got an awesome sound and somehow schlep a whole drumkit into the subway, so that in itself is impressive.

Josh Malone plays trumpet and vocals -- no mics in the subway, just a bullhorn.
