Poor Unfortunate Souls: A 21+ NYC Halloween Party with The Little Mermen

Before

0.3 mi · 6 min walk - Tribeca - Hudson Square

A dining car parked on the triangle where Leonard Street meets West Broadway, which by its own account has served Tribeca for over a hundred years. Counter stools along one side and booths along the other. Eggs are on all day and the check comes to diner money.

After

0.4 mi · 8 min walk - Chinatown - Bowery

Cantonese cooking at the corner of Bowery and Bayard since 1981, with roast meats hanging in the window. Salt-baked squid and the noodle soups are what most tables order. Cash only, and nothing about the place has been prettied up.
