It's called Ear Inn because the neon sign is broken and the B looks like an E
u stay there for an hour and suddenly youve had 20 perfectly poured guinness
getting a beer there with @WILL in 10 minutes "TheĀ Ear InnĀ isĀ NYC'sĀ oldest bar continuously serving alcohol since 1817 and is on the national registrar of historic buildings"

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.

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 womenās bathroom still has little makeup stations with mirrors and tables. Itās very charming.
Iāve also heard something about the urinals but will need a counterpart to report back.
The food and drink donāt matter to me. A beer is a beer everywhere. It was fine. Go for everything else.

Itās an Irish pub somehow located in the interior plaza of a FiDi housing complex. The blinds are down; the red vinyl booths are empty. Thereās an octagonal painting of the Twin Towers; Tiffany lampshades; a dim back room with stained glass windows; an ancient waiter who wears a suit; a horrific porcelain leprechaun. The wings are pretty good.One of the few bars in the vicinity to predate 9/11, Byrnes is a holdout against the mass extinction of normal places for normal people to get a drink in the city. For every haunt like Forliniās that closes weāre treated to half a dozen new TikTok-bait establishments called, like, Ghosted & Fried that serve TUNA POKE WONTON TACOS and MEXICAN STREET CORN RAVIOLI (real menu items at Beauty & Essex) to Syracuse marketing majors in Allbirds. And donāt get me started on the neon signsā¦Even more insidious are the places like Bernieās that mimic suburban taverns in order to sell homesick creative directors a plate of five mozzarella sticks for $17. Skip all that, go to Byrnes.

š®tomorrow PI.FYI launches to the public
this project is the result of thousands of hours spent coding everything from scratch after I got laid off six months ago
no thiel-bucks or weirdo outsider money, just a pure desire to make something fun and true to Perfectly Imperfectās day one goal of helping people find new things from real human beings, not algorithms or AI
a pure labor of love that Iāve been quietly plotting for two years and itās completely self-funded from my (rapidly) dwindling savings account
so thank you for coming along for this weird ride š«¶ let's see where it goes
