It tastes a little different!

During my trip to New York, I made a quick stop in at McSorley's Old Ale House. Perhaps the single greatest novelty of McSorley's is that it has served one beverage in its 150 year history; ale. When you order, you basically ask for "light" or "dark" and whatever you get, comes with two glasses. Order double and you get four glasses, pretty sweet eh? I had no idea this was the deal when I went in so imagine my surprise when I ask for dark and get two glasses of ale. I thought I was getting a good deal! McSorley's has a wood floor with sawdust all over it. I immediately suspected this had to be due to the large amount of vomiting that occurred there - then I smelled what I swear was vomit and my suspicions were confirmed. Maybe it just has to due with the fact that this place is so incredibly old and hasn't been changed at all. Just use the bathrooms.
