THE SCENE:
Once inside the doors of the former gift shop, it was as close to feeling like a real live bar as one could imagine, considering. Sure, there were old emptied-out shelves stacked against the back wall that had once housed "I <3 Books" teddy bears and other cheesy New York souvenirs, but it couldn't be denied that the room had been force-fed some ambiance.
A handful of industrial lights with amber gels that had been carted over from backstage at MSG uplit the walls, making the room warm and dim. Music played, a mishmash of 80's, southern bands, and tongue-in-cheek songs like REM's "It's the End of the World" were mixed in with some music that was still considered "current", as there wasn't anyone anywhere making anything newer. There were tall tables and red velvet-covered stools bunched artfully in groups, and large runs of fabric hammered into the ceiling so they fell and covered the bare white walls. The pair of dart boards was in a prominent spot, and the piano was lovingly placed at the edge of the bunches of tables, begging to be played.
But the piece de resistance was the bar - a real genuine bar of thick heavy granite stood in a place of honor, lined with more stools and looking just so temptingly normal - by pre-apocalyptic standards anyway. In this new place it was anything but. Behind it was stacked a cache of miraculously unopened cans of soda for mixing drinks, and as many bottles of booze as could be gathered together, as well as a collection of glasses and even mugs, none of which matched but all of which would contain and transport alcohol perfectly well.
If memory was dimmed by time and zombie-grime, this bar could very nearly be called legitimate.
