In our latest YouTube video, NEW YORK SPEAKEASY TOUR of the GRAMERCY neighborhood of MANHATTAN we walk with our dog and visit historic restaurants and bars which were all open during Prohibition serving alcohol. Prohibition in New York lasted from 1920 through 1933, when Congress repealed the 18th Amendment. 

Old Town Bar has retained much of its original interior including a large mahogany bar and giant shoulder-height porcelain Hinsdale urinals in the mens room. It also has an amazing neon sign which was lovingly restored by @lettherebeneon
