Very nice article, Soda. I must say, however, that the area around The Bitter End was not that crassly commercialized with banks and convenience stores...there were quite a few nice small restaurants, taverns, and shops. I know, because I spent a few laps circling the surrounding blocks, looking for parking, while Dreamer held our primo position in line. We were right near NYU, so they have to have some other businesses to cater to the students, right?
