ith a reliable roster of regulars, as well as a constant rotation of neophytes, this New York institution has remained popular and inviting since its opening in 1892 (though, I must admit, I really can't comment on its 1892 - 1992 popularity). A literary haunt for generations, as well as a regular post-work draw, the Old Town is storied and well loved. Expect the requisite wood prevalence and a menu replete with killer burgers and pun-ish fare.
