11 Reasons Why The Bowery is a Good But Imperfect Option After the Arclight

1. Pressed-tin ceilings, white-tiled walls, black-leather barstools.
2. Excellent hamburgers and homemade onion rings.
3. An eat/drink bar where they're genuinely happy to have you do either or both.
4. Oversized windows open to the street.
5. Wine/beer lists are short but sweet.
6. Pabst Blue Ribbon in the can. If you feel like showing off.
7. It's loud. 78-83 dBs.
8. The kitchen's open until midnight.
9. Whole-leaf Caesar salad.
10. Balky kitchen. Mussels can be delicious. Or they can contain a bizarre excess of saffron, the shells trapping saffron stamen like so much seaweed and turning the broth a disturbing, vivid orange. Tasted harsh and must have killed food costs for the night.
11. You'll never get in at Hungry Cat.
