Tile Bar is in the EV, what was it like 7th st and 2nd ave or something? Had a decent jukebox.

I have mixed feelings about Brooklyn Inn though I know it's a classic. It's also the bar that appears in Motherless Brooklyn.

When I lived in brooklyn and would go to bars I found the crowd there to always be a bit older, a bit wealthier, more like a hipster yuppie longstanding brooklyn vibe. I had friends for whom that's their local.

1st. Jukebox was good, maybe not quite as good as the one at Downtown Beirut.

I think Alex in NYC blogged about a lot of these places.

I went to the tile bar for like 20 years, lived on 4th and 1st… I would very often play "caroselambra" (which is the closest thing to Wyatting you can do for LZ cuts) and PJ's "A Place Called Home"…

I went there for many years without living in that neighborhood, but not for quite as long as you did.
