And there's a subway station at Cooper's Union, only a block from McSorley's, assuming you walk in the right direction. Google a map just to be on the safe side.

The bathroom situation for women is the same as reported above. McSorley's is not about to change that. So one is left with the choice of being "flexible" or finding a more mainstream tavern.

When I was there last year, for the first time in over 30 years, it appeared the same. Maybe a few more cobwebs on the display suff behind the bar. I rather liked the experience.

The cat was a different one, though, but perfectly happy to be scratched behind the ears and under the chin.

They also had a book that explained all the stories behind the stuff on display, and the various characters who have worked at or frequented the place for the last century or so.

Cheerily,
