Bar Shots: NYC neighborhoods

Sure, big clubs and trendy bars lure people from all over, but it's the neighborhood bars that we love. And in an attempt to shine a bright and probing light on the habits of neighborhood drinkers, we regularly send out writers and photographers to document a typical night spent in a very specific area.

Have a suggestion for a micro-neighborhood you'd like to see covered? Do you hope that writers and photographers never, ever come to watch you while you're drinking and then write about it for the internet? Drop us a line.
