Brooklyn tattoo shop specializing in American traditional style work. Everyone is super nice and cool.

The Ear Bar has been in New York longer than any of us. In a city of vacuous fleeting trendy bars the Ear Bar (which is really called the Ear Inn but I've never called it that) is the real deal.

I had been living in Brooklyn Heights for some time and Long Island Restaurant has been closed for as long as I could remember.
