A Trip to Chumley's

Last night, I took a trip to Chumley's, a historic bar in the West Village. I've been there before, but it's always nice to go to a bar that has been around since the 1920's. Since it's winter, they had their fireplace going, which you could immediately sense when you walked in and took a breath. Chumley's is a beautiful bar that everyone should go to at least once. Oh, and at $2, their assorted bread basket is a deal for those who want to load up on the carbs.

Looks like a cool place. Damn I wish there was a smoking ban in Michigan and Pennsylvania bars!

i've got to say that as a non-smoker, the smoking ban is the best thing to happen to this city in a long time. i'm sure there are better things, but it sounds better saying it the other way.

i have to say, as an occasional smoker, that i agree with tien. it doesn't bother me that i can't smoke in a bar...in fact, i hate going home stinking not just of my own smoke, but of others, as well.
