Spent an enjoyable evening of libations at Bill's 1890's Bar & Restaurant. This is the real deal. Not actually from the 1890s but built as a nostalgic tribute during the 1920s. Bills occupies a small mid-19th century townhouse on east 54th Street. Three stories chock full of Gay Nineties eyeball kicks. Just pass through the hand-carved swinging doors and enter the famous Silver Dollar Bar.
But make it quick. Bill's has survived prohibition and the depression but it will eventually succumb to the crushing wave of New York City real estate.
Bill's closes on the 24th of this month.
