I met up with my friend Chase at a dive bar in Hell’s Kitchen called Rudy’s. It seemed like the stuff of legend. Beers under $5 in Manhattan? Unlimited free hot dogs? Good atmosphere? No, these things couldn’t be true. But they were, and by the end of the night we were both declaring how Rudy’s was the best damn bar in New York. (This was after I had 5 beers and 5 hot dogs, I wasn’t keeping track of Chase, but I believe his numbers are similar.) It was a great bar though. We got an amazing booth right away. It was so coveted that a couple of girls bought us a pitcher of beer, just so they could share with us. The bartenders were cool and not uptight New York bartenders. Did I mention unlimited free hot dogs?
