Does any other bar honestly think they'd ever have a chance of topping this joint's jukebox? Known as "EL DJ," it might not look like much, but this wunderkind of pre-recorded music boasts more than 31,000 mp3s and can instantly call up tracks from Aesop Rock to ZZ Top. An exceptionally friendly bar staff, cheap booze and kick-ass nightly drink specials from 9 p.m. to midnight completes the picture. Built on the former site of Brownies, an Alphabet City classic, it looks like this joint is on its way to becoming one as well.
