If the soul and character of the east village is places like Mars Bar ("daycare for drunks").that's not a whole lot to build a culture upon I'm afraid.Īgain, don't mean to inflame and maybe its that I'm clueless about drinking traditions, camaraderie, bonhomie and culture and what not, but to me Mars Bar is just another hangout for people who like to booze. I understand that people become attached to dive bars, especially when they have managed to stick around long enough to accumulate epic levels of grime and funk, but how many are going to really miss this place? I would guess that people are attached to the *idea* of places like Mars Bar.
