Before
Trailer Park LoungeA basement on West 23rd that has been done out as a trailer park since 2000, with wood panelling, garden gnomes and Christmas lights left up all year. Tater tots, corn dogs and very large frozen margaritas. Nothing about it has been updated since.

After
Lobby Bar at The Hotel ChelseaThe ground floor of the Hotel Chelsea, reopened after the long renovation, with the original staircase and the hanging art still in place. Drinks are made carefully and slowly and the bar is open to anybody off West 23rd Street, not just to guests. Only people staying upstairs can book a table, which in practice means the rest of the seating is first come.
