Light or Dark----McSorley's Old Ale House NYC

These pics just don't do these babies justice. The urinals at McSorley's complete the picture of this historic beer shrine.

Sometime's referred to/thought of as the oldest bar in Manhattan (it isn't), McSorley's is a must drink-at watering hole. The beers are ordered 10 at a time which means you wind up drinking 30 or so half filled mugs and then piss your brains out in old-world style.

This place is dirty, dark, hot, and perfect!

Franklin Field --Philly


This is one of my all time favorite spots. What an awful (awesome) wall trough.
Nothing like standing next to a bunch of drunks who are chanting and cursing.
This is the current home of UPenn teams and the former home of the Eagles.
This is the same place where the famous "Throwing Snowballs at Santa Claus" story happened.
I can see this as the exact spot where that plan was hatched in 1968 during one of the Eagles typically miserable seasons. Probable conversation is below.
drunk fan #1, " hey man let's go hit that fat old bastard with an snowball."
drunk fan #2, "sure first one to hit him in the nuts wins"
