Pubs, Cafes and Coffee Shops

My first visit to the White Horse was two years ago during the bizzard (something like 26 in).

It was warm and inviting and a great place to spend an entire day while it snows outside. We had lunch and stayed for dinner. One of my favorite days in New York. I have been back several times. It is a must for anyone who comes to New York. Not only does it have great burgers and cold beer it boasts a history worthy of making a stop for sightseeing. That is if you are looking to find "real" New York and not the Disney version. Now this is not a well kept secret but it is a far cry from Bubba Gump. You will find tourist (like me), but mostly it is students and regular New Yorkers. Now back to that history stuff I was talking about. Evidently, it was a hang out for poets, writers and artists back in the day. The most famous of which is Dylan Thomas. You will find his mug on every wall. The mugs that keep me coming back are the ones filled with beer. New York is expensive. So when you can find great food and beer at cheap prices, a rich authentic New York atmosphere in the West Village you should go and enjoy. Plus the added bonus of hanging out where Dylan Thomas used to hang out? How cool is that. Just don't follow his footsteps too closely, I think he drank himself to death.
