Located on Third Avenue's strip of bars and restaurants, Mercury Bar always seemed to be a go-to spot for getting the full Murray Hill experience. We decided to check it out, imagining all the "omigod!" and "dude, she's so hot!" comments in out midst.
It was only after walking in to what can best be described as a sundry mix of bridge-and-tunnel folks, mousy gals in streetwalking skimpy dress and a few clearly intoxicated, old-ish men at the bar, that we realized: The type that live in Murray Hill don't go out in Murray Hill anymore, they go to the Lower East Side! Why do you think it's a complete circus on the weekends?!
With all our bitching about it, we really should have known.
