Mc Sorley`s.

My sister was here in December, visiting N.Y.C for the first time.

I couldn`t spend every day with her so we decided that she would do
all of the museums by herself and i would be her guide in the sections
of the city where i love to hang out!
But i soon found out that she knew more about these places than i did.
She is a much better traveler than i ever was and she is used to carrying
with her a guide book at all times.

Sometimes i got impatient while waiting for her to read and
find out precisely where we were,if there were any important
buildings to see,about the history of the area and so on.

But i must admit that while walking with her the streets of Manhattan
i discovered more about the city than i had done on my walks the last two years.

We were hanging out at St. Marks Place one day,
when we got hungry and thirsty,and were wandering where to go
for to satisfy our appetite,when she took out her
precious saurce of information she turns to me and says:
Let`s go to Mc Sorley`s !

Entering this Old Ale House at East 7th street and Third Avenue is
an experience like no other.
The history of the place greets you as you cross the front door
and you stand there surrounded by the smell of Ale,
the people and the loud voices.
It was around two in the afternoon and the tables were almost
full.
It felt nice and warm as we headed for the second and bigger room
where we sat with together other people with whom we became friends
instantly after the second round of homebrewed dark and blond beer!

My sister`s Chilly Con Carne was delicious and so was my Burger with Fries.
We both felt in love with the place, the service and the people and after
my sister left it also become a place full of precious memories
from the two times we spent there.

Needless to say i have become a regular myself, especially after my last visit
when i witnessed two customers bringing in their dogs and being allowed to stay!

And that added charm too!
