Many listeners have asked to know more about McSorley’s Old Ale House, the inspiration for the conversations that make up our show. So one summer afternoon, we pulled out a chair for you, Dear Listener, and ticked through some of the artifacts in New York City’s oldest bar. It’s a tour from 1854 to the present (unbroken even by Prohibition), this week on the Angry History Show.
On New Year’s Eve, your intrepid hosts were back in Gotham’s historic East Village. We had a steam at the Russian Baths (1892), tipped a few at McSorley’s Old Ale House (1854), and felt sincerely humbled by the way you’ve helped this thing of ours grow. It was just an idea ten months ago, but now we’re within sight of 100,000 downloads. Thank you for your support. We wish you all the best in 2014.
