New York has always been a great place to enjoy a pint (or three). A rare class of the city’s taverns dates to Prohibition days or earlier, and each carries decades of local history: from the Revolutionary War to the gay rights movement. So take a loop through Manhattan with us and pay a visit to the watering holes that have withstood the test of time. On this "very old" pub crawl, we’ll be meeting with liquored-up historians at bars across the city to recount the history of drinking in New York.
WHEN
Saturday, February 16 from 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM
