It’s photographer Jay Maisel’s studio building on the Bowery. The fact that he hasn’t sold out to the manic gentrification of everything in New York is even cooler. Makes me happy that the whole place is covered in piss stains and graffiti when everything around it is all polished and shiny and expensive. It’s like a giant middle finger raised to those disgusting, bloodthirsty, city-raping real-estate developers. Awesome.

If you are in need of a moment of solitude, this is the place. On my first visit I was in awe of how time seemed to stand still inside. It has now become a sanctuary from the city when I need the pace of life to slow down.

It´s a must to go there for Dinner or on a Date-Night. A very vibrant special place in the heart of the Lower Eastside! Make sure you use the bathroom downstairs! ;)

Good vibes bar with some of the best food-next-to-your-drink in the city.

The best, coziest place for a burger!
