The Pony Bar: Midtown's Beer Hero

Every so often-usually after a long day when the office drank all but half a mug’s worth of the coffee and I’m just too tired to fight–someone will convince me to go to a bar in Midtown. I will often offer to buy brown bag booze for all involved to

Shhh… there's a Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory in Greenpoint, too
