Before
Jimbo's Hamburger PlaceA burger counter on First Avenue that started in the 1950s and has been run since the late seventies by Mahmoud Mostafa, who goes by Jim, alongside his son Abe. Three tables, twenty-three burgers on the board, and the most adventurous topping is blue cheese. The grease of several decades is part of the air.

After
Peter Dillon'sAn unreconstructed Irish bar on 40th that pours until four in the morning every night of the week and runs happy hour all day, every day. Televisions on, Guinness on tap, a back bar with seats and a few tables out on the sidewalk in warm weather. No one is policing what you are wearing.
