In a neighborhood of bad Irish bars this is the best. They just celebrated their 100 year anniversary and most of the clientele are approximately the same age.

Itā€™s an Irish pub somehow located in the interior plaza of a FiDi housing complex. The blinds are down; the red vinyl booths are empty. Thereā€™s an octagonal painting of the Twin Towers; Tiffany lampshades; a dim back room with stained glass windows; an ancient waiter who wears a suit; a horrific porcelain leprechaun. The wings are pretty good.One of the few bars in the vicinity to predate 9/11, Byrnes is a holdout against the mass extinction of normal places for normal people to get a drink in the city. For every haunt like Forliniā€™s that closes weā€™re treated to half a dozen new TikTok-bait establishments called, like, Ghosted & Fried that serve TUNA POKE WONTON TACOS and MEXICAN STREET CORN RAVIOLI (real menu items at Beauty & Essex) to Syracuse marketing majors in Allbirds. And donā€™t get me started on the neon signsā€¦Even more insidious are the places like Bernieā€™s that mimic suburban taverns in order to sell homesick creative directors a plate of five mozzarella sticks for $17. Skip all that, go to Byrnes.

I have been working in this neighborhood for SIX years at [redacted art school] and just went here for the first time. It is 132 years old. That math is pathetic ! much time to make up for. this place is a treasure if you like things like observing the oldest dumbwaiter in NYC, tin ceilings, and old stained glass and wood. The womenā€™s bathroom still has little makeup stations with mirrors and tables. Itā€˜s very charming. Iā€™ve also heard something about the urinals but will need a counterpart to report back. The food and drink donā€™t matter to me. A beer is a beer everywhere. It was fine. Go for everything else.

That thing is your style. Probably itā€™s still raw, which is why others donā€™t see what you see. Refine your thing, your idiosyncrasy. Sharpen it but donā€™t smooth out all the rough edges, these are what stick in peopleā€™s brains. Be inelegant. Be brave.

You have to be a member to shop here. Members only. Sorry. Itā€™s called luxury branding. Canā€™t let just anybody in on these deals. These softer than soft, warm, fuzzy deals. Better luck in the next life.Ā Whatā€™s that, you donā€™t need a membership to buy online? Aw naw!

This new limited series on Netflix is causing a lot of controversy in the archaeological community. Graham Hancock, the host, loves to say, ā€œHuman beings are a species with amnesia.ā€ To prove this he travels around the world to pre-historic sites and makes the argument that an advanced human civilization existed during the last Ice Age before being wiped out by asteroid strikes around 12,800 years ago. Iā€™m a natural born skeptic, but Iā€™ve read several of Hancockā€™s books and they raise a lot of questions that archaeologists havenā€™t, or canā€™t, sufficiently answer.Ā Ā Sometimes I wonder why Iā€™m so interested in the mysteries of prehistory. The conclusion Iā€™ve come to is that they calm me by making my own problemsā€”finishing my Perfectly Imperfect, writing the next book, deathā€”feel less significant.
