St. Jerome's
Luc Carl, also known as Lady Gaga's ex boyfriend, also known by the Little Monsters as "cool Nebraska guy" manages and bar-tends at this hole in the wall bar (her song "You and I" is about him and falling in love at St. Jerome's.) Calling it a dive serves the spot injustice as many locals could agree that they each have stories to share about wild nights that ended at St. Jerome's. Now, the bar is known for its cheap drink specials, DIY DJ sets (Macbooks set up to speakers), and infiltration of downtown skateboarders.
St. Jerome's, 155 Rivington St (btw Clinton & Suffolk), 212-533-1810
