New York City Nightlife – PubsScratcherEveryone's favorite somewhat-Irish bar--crowded, but worth it.
The SceneThree stone steps lead down into a den where the weather-worn "Guinness is Good for You" sign is held as sacred truth. Popular on weekdays and packed on weekends, the bar has wooden plank floors and workbench-like tables that are well suited to its puzzling name. The Scratcher's logo is an old Irish hobo symbol, carved (or "scratched") into trees as a safe-haven sign of protection--a place where hard-luck wanderers could duck the law's grabbing hand. The DrawFans swear by the Irish-breakfast brunch, complete with eggs, Irish bacon, beans, toast and those exotic black and white "puddings." Hearty options for vegetarians include heaven-sent cinnamon banana pancakes. Daytime here feels truly like a refuge, before the mad scene descends. While the brick walls, bare-bulb sconces and warm-hearted staff may be too well-loved for comfort at times, few can stay away. 209 E 5th St |
