It was perfectly cooked and was the perfect medium well burger. I had the Upper East Side burger with fries and it was excellent. TVs going so I was able to watch multiple games and you could see and hear everything.

That a New Yorker going to drink the night away in 2009 is trying to escape "the same problems" New Yorkers were fifty years ago.Īs Jack puts it, "People come to New York, and if they don’t walk slowly after six months, they go back to where they came from." And Morgan concurs: "Not, it's cornball." But the article concludes by saying that especially in New York, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Jack admits the bar isn't what it used to be.
For better or worse, " Annabel Vartanian doesn’t come very much, whatever that means." (It's a bit of an odd article.) Paul Johnson Calderon stops by and "pretends to play blackjack in the summer." "Topper Mortimer does a great version of the Boz Scaggs tune “'Lido Shuffle'” on Karaoke Tuesdays. Still, the folks who usually crave that sort of exclusivity often pay a visit.
“The Boom Boom Room is the hierarchy”-every time he goes there he passes by a long, tragic line of plebes waiting to get to pay $25 for a drink-“and Dorrian’s is the democracy.”" “And then coupled with things like, you know, this is not Rose Bar where you have to get past someone or like ‘velvet ropes’, if you have an ID you can get in, basically. “I think part of why it’s so hot right now is the recession and people not having cash and it being not a $20 cab ride away downtown,” said sociable gal Anisha Lakhani. Notable Sociables pretending to slum it also like Dorrian's: Randomly, the place is big with people from Far Hills, New Jersey. No gambling." There might be room for debate on that one, but the biggest buzzkill comes from its realization of how watered down Dorrian's current crowd compared to a place like the is from a place like the Wrinkle Room. For one thing, "There are no hookers in here. Morgan continues with current analysis of Dorrian's. One of them was a discreet gay bar, the Wrinkle Room, whose clients, Jacks says, "weren’t faggots, they were gay." Rock Hudson used to wave money in the face of young hustlers there. We learn how Dorrian's got its name: everyone called James "Red." Red had bars all over the city. James came over from Belfast in the '20s. Then, there's a history of not only the Red Hand, but of Jack's father, James. The kids who are not college kids, they figure they’re lacking education, so they find some place else." Why not public? "“What, am I gonna put ’em in with the dopes?!” As for Dorrian's educated revelers ( we hear Harvard kids like it), Jack explains "if you have a group of college people in here, that’s what you’re going to get. The Red Hand's success allowed him to put all eight (!) of his kids through private school. It includes some great pearls from crusty owner Jack Dorrian. But that's exactly what happens in Spencer Morgan's entertaining, in-depth look at preppy mainstay Dorrian's Red Hand in the Observer. We'll admit it: we never thought we'd see Annabel Vartanian and Rock Hudson discussed in the same article.
