This unremarkable place at the corner of Jane and W4th is worth spending an hour or two. They have one of the best cheeseburgers in NYC – ideally cooked with crispy pickles and fresh greenery for just $6.5. And they have the most charismatic bartender in the neighborhood – this grey-haired guy is about 75-80 but is a real professional – he'll pour you a pint (spilling a quarter of it) and give an old-school cashier's receipt. That's the quintessential ritual and spirit of the venue.
