A venerable NYC dive/drinking institution since long before I lived in this hood.
Surprisingly good comfort food (lamburger, chicken pot pie) too.
Spring and Greenwich, Soho.
Cheers 🍻

I have been working in this neighborhood for SIX years at [redacted art school] and just went here for the first time. It is 132 years old.
That math is pathetic ! much time to make up for. this place is a treasure if you like things like observing the oldest dumbwaiter in NYC, tin ceilings, and old stained glass and wood.
The women’s bathroom still has little makeup stations with mirrors and tables. It‘s very charming.
I’ve also heard something about the urinals but will need a counterpart to report back.
The food and drink don’t matter to me. A beer is a beer everywhere. It was fine. Go for everything else.

We have a spot by us that’s been here for something like 75 years. They have a dish on the menu called “meatball salad” that is better than it sounds. The walls are wood paneled. We come here every few weeks to dish with our favorite bartender—she lives on our block—about all the hot new neighborhood gossip. They’re filming “The Bear” on our block and there’s absolutely no parking. We’re all inconvenienced, let’s dish! She makes a great club soda with lime and my husband always asks what the specials are from the kitchen. It’s cash only. Chicago, we love you because you’re made up of dives like this, dotting corners in every neighborhood of this town.

The man responsible for dozens of Teenage Symphonies to God
"Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love)
I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot."
God only knows what we'd been without him 🙏🏻

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
