Before
Local 42Opened in 2023 and built to look like it never wasn't there. Named for the scenic artists' union local. Cheap beer and pinball, and nobody minds that you came straight from work.

After
Jimmy's CornerA narrow bar off Times Square papered floor to ceiling with fight posters. Jimmy Glenn cornered Ali. The jukebox runs soul and the pours are heavy.
