My contribution to Leica’s #place2be NYC series, photographed with a Leica D-Lux 5 camera.

McSorley’s Old Ale House, Leica #place2be, New York, NY, October 2011
It’s not the newest, trendiest, or even best bar in NYC, but it’s got history and a unique character. The beer selection is light and dark, and that’s it. Dark, dusty and a bit dirty, it would be a great dive bar if it wasn’t well-known and long-lived. I take out-of-town visitors here to show them a throwback to a different time, to soak up the atmosphere and to help show the tremendous diversity of bars that exist throughout NYC.
