Bar #28 (alphabetically; calm down, Cobra) of the 50 wonderful places I drew and wrote about in my book "Bars, Taverns and Dives New Yorkers Love.” (Order on Amazon et al.) The Keep of Ridgewood, Queens! A fantastically weird and beautiful bar that looks like Edward Gorey handled the interior design. Or maybe Morticia Addams. Like a sprawling, sexy lounge inside a gothic antique shop. Go, and prepare to be wowed. (Tag someone who loves it.) I love it, so I drew it, and it's in the book.

#29 (in alphabetical order) of the 50 great places I drew and wrote about in my book "Bars, Taverns and Dives New Yorkers Love.” (Order now on Amazon et al.) The wunderbar Killmeyer’s of Staten Island! A beautifully restored German roadhouse built around 1850, with a gorgeous beer garden out back, and out front? The world’s largest Hummel figurine. Yeah. I love it, so I drew it, and it's in the book.

#30 (in alphabetical order) of the 50 great places I drew and wrote about in my book "Bars, Taverns and Dives New Yorkers Love.” (Order now on Amazon et al.) The great (but attitude-free!) Lee’s Tavern of Staten Island. A corner neighborhood joint that needs no sign, serving arguably the best pizza in NYC. Back off— I’ve done the research. I love it, so I drew it, and it's in the book.

Bar #31 (in alphabetical order) of the 50 great places I drew and wrote about in my book "Bars, Taverns and Dives New Yorkers Love.” (Order now on Amazon et al.) The legendary Liedy’s Shore Inn of Staten Island. A true locals’ local and a keystone of Staten Island’s shipping history, adjacent to the Kill Van Kull waterway since 1905. Still run by the Liedy family (hats off to Larry Liedy) and still a wild-ass rock ‘n’ roll middle-age dance party on weekends. I love it, so I drew it, and it's in the book.

Bar #33 (alphabetically) of the 50 wonderful places I drew and wrote about in my book “Bars, Taverns and Dives New Yorkers Love” (order now on Amazon et al.)—the lovable, scruffy Luckydog of Williamsburg Brooklyn. Solid, laid-back service, a well-appointed back patio, and one of the absolute best jukeboxes in town. But no brunch. That, according to their official T-shirts, is for assholes. (Tag someone who loves this place!) I love it, so I drew it, and it’s in the book.

Bar #36 (alphabetically) of the 50 wonderful places I drew and wrote about in my book "Bars, Taverns and Dives New Yorkers Love.” (Order now on Amazon et al.) McSorley’s Old Ale House of Manhattan’s East Village, on Seventh Street since the 1850s. Already think you “know” it? Go during a quiet afternoon and see—no, FEEL—why it’s still so special. I love it, so I drew it, and it's in the book.

Bar #37 (alphabetically; calm down) of the 50 wonderful places I drew and wrote about in my book "Bars, Taverns and Dives New Yorkers Love.” (Order now on Amazon et al.) Mona’s of the East Village in Manhattan. A perfect specimen of the 1980s NY dive bar, hosting two of the strongest weekly jam sessions in town—Monday night bluegrass and Tuesday for traditional jazz. Come late, stay late, tip well. You’ll dig it. (Fun fact: Mona was a cat.) I love it, so I drew it, and it's in the book.

Bar #38 (alphabetically; calm down) of the 50 wonderful places I drew and wrote about in my book "Bars, Taverns and Dives New Yorkers Love.” (Order now on Amazon et al.) Neary’s of Midtown East in Manhattan. Leave the coarseness of NYC behind you when you walk into this elegant pub, and prepare for the old-school charm and grace of host-supreme Jimmy Neary and his wonderful staff. And gentlemen: no jeans. I love it, so I drew it, and it's in the book.
