Lower East Side, Manhattan · restaurant
A colonial American tavern hidden at the end of Freeman Alley — dark wood paneling, mounted antlers, taxidermied animals lining the walls, and a general atmosphere suggesting the Bowery circa 1890. The menu runs rustic American: Hot Artichoke Dip with crisp bread, proper roasts, old-world wine, brown spirits. A secret speakeasy called Banzarbar operates upstairs for anyone who seeks anonymity.
