19th Century New York Saloon

Some say that Gen Y has an obsession with alcoholic libations. Little do they know that our affinity for imbibing started centuries ago and was supported by a New York City staple, P. J. Clarke's. Opened at the end of the 19th Century, this little, red brick saloon became home to famous bar-goers throughout the years such as Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy, and many more. Virtually unchanged in decor and quirks, head on over to P. J.'s, a legend in the bar world that has persevered through two World Wars, the Depression, Prohibition, and New York City modernization. Hat's off.   [Photo via]
