A bar on the ground floor of the Meyer's Hotel building at Peck Slip, with a long wooden counter that has been serving this corner of the waterfront since the 1870s. Hurricane Sandy flooded the block and closed it, and it came back. Happy hour runs 4pm to 7pm Wednesday through Saturday.

A pub on Cedar Street a block south of the World Trade Center, covered wall to ceiling in shoulder patches left by the fire and police departments that sent people here after September 11. It was buried in dust that day and reopened the following year. Pints and bar food, and the patches are the whole decor.
