For Friends - By Friends
According to a feature in Esquire Magazine "the best bar in America isn't Irish. It isn't in a strip mall. It isn't the sort of place that charges an outrageous cover for people to stand around in black light pushing back shooters out of test tubes. It isn't a fight club or a meat market. There is no snobbery, and there is no tonic-water drinking. There are gimlets and manhattans, bottles of Zywiec, and a first-rate pissoir." Coming in at #9 "The Best Bar in America" is Nye's Polonaise.I've been many times and have a number of Nye's stories but Esquire sums up the experience best by saying "Everybody says that stepping into Nye's Polonaise is like stepping back in time, and, for once, it's true—to a time before even electricity"
