Jimmy's No. 43
It was at this point, our Riverdale contingent, namely Kevin and Jim, bailed out on the pubcrawl. Difficult as it was, we soldiered on.
Jimmy's No. 43 had a cool vibe. For starters, it's below street level (below Standings). It was also considerably busier than either Burp Castle or Standings Bar. It reminded me a little of the vibe at Chumley's: old, funky and vaguely European. I dug it, Man.
A view of the taps revealed a good selection of foreign and domestic microbrews: Lagunitas Pilsener, Chrisoffel Blond, Goliath Triple Ale, McChouffe, Jenlain, Ambrée Framboise, Six Point Bengali Tiger, Six Point Diesel Stout, Chimay Ale, Kapuziner Hefeweizen and La Rulles.
Again, I appear to be drinking something dark. Was it the Diesel Stout? The Chelsea Black Hole? Search me...
What a night it was! Great company, losta laughs and plenty of good B.S. beer. Having met our goal, we called it a night. Upstairs on the street, "P" suggested we go to Bar None for a night cap. We walked there, RIGHT, guys? [next]
