Spring Lounge
DIVE BAR
This neon-red rebel has never let anything get in the way of a good time. In Prohibition
days, it peddled buckets of beer. In the '60s its basement was a gambling den. These days,
it's best known for its kooky stuffed sharks, early-start regulars, and come-one-come-all
late-night revelry.
Fuelling the fun are cheap drinks and free grub (hot dogs on Wednesdays from 5pm, ba-
gels on Sundays from noon, while they last). Bottoms up, baby!

Spent SoHo shoppers reboot at this pocket-sized espresso bar. The brews are strong, full-
bodied and worthy of any bar in Italy (note the cool Rome wall mural). If you're feeling
nibbly, a small selection of edibles includes cookies and croissants.
