As I mentioned in my NYC post, McSorley’s Old Ale House is the oldest ale house in the NYC. They’ve even got the dust to prove it.
The only alcoholic beverages served at this historic tavern are light and dark ale. Allan and I preferred the dark ale for its smooth chocolate flavor without a bitter after taste. My sister, Simone, disagreed. She preferred the light ale. Actually, her beverages of choice are white wine and champagne, but she survived.
More known for its ale than food, I’ve heard they serve a pile of raw onions with every dish at McSorely’s, which would explain the condiments on the table. Would you like to some Hepatitis with your chips?
Sawdust covers the wooden floors. Old photographs, newspaper clippings and vintage knickknacks plaster the walls. Every inch of the establishment has an interesting artifact to gaze upon.
I want this sign for my house.
When we fist arrived, the bar was standing room only. After our first round of beer, the server cleared a set of tables for us. I think the bartender knew we would stick around for awhile.
That dust about made me gag! Not to mention the condiments!
What a cool place…but the dust and condiments did give me the willies!
Yuk on the dust and condiments. I don’t know if I’d feel comfortable drinking there. I’m more of a light ale person myself. So maybe it’s a girl thing.
I love your dress. You and your sister are so pretty. And skinny!
Looks like you had so much fun in NYC!! Your sister looks just like you 🙂
