Botanica Bar
47 E. Houston St. (Mulberry St.), Manhattan
It was the look of the banquette/couches that prompted our night's companion to pull us down the steps into dark Botanica Bar. From the street we assumed this was a place for Age InAppropriates. Inside, however, we were surely not the oldest in the bar. Neither were we the whitest. That honor went to the two hilarious polo-shirted guys singing-karaoking Biz Markie.
Not surprisingly, bartender says weekends get young in here while weekdays vary, and nothing is certain after midnight. What is surprising was how quickly a pint of Guinness arrived, and how watery it was.
