When we ran the post yesterday about the fellow who is frequenting 1,000 bars this year, we didn't realize he has a blog on which he chronicles his pilgrimmage. We love bars and their different attributes. The blog does a nice job of capturing the "aura" we sense in them. Link. Excerpt:
Jimmy's Corner
This is a place that you might easily pass by as you walk along 44th. I spotted it the other day when I went to St. Andrews and made a mental note to return. The opportunity presented itself today. It is located at 144 West 44th Street between 6th and 7th Avenue. It is owned by Jimmy Glenn, who is a professional trainer of boxers. As you might imagine the walls are covered with aging photographs and other memorabilia that he has collected over the years. The surface of the bar is covered with a decoupage of newspaper photos and other pictures of boxers. The place is quite narrow and fairly deep.
