NYC: Back Fence (Bar)


A bar to remember
Bob is always on the lookout for cool, interesting and historic bars. His family is always willing to accompany him.

Sunday afternoon we trekked to the West Village in the blazing heat, drinking gallons of water along the way. Our plan was to meet Mike at Peculier Pub on Bleecker St. Unfortunately, Peculier was closed, but lo and behold, the Back Fence, a classic Greenwich Village beatnik bar, was open.

We walked in right around 3, not realizing it was an open mic day. We heard a “street poet” regale us with a very long, absolute incomprehensible and hilarious rap about schmoolgelfoofers. Don’t ask what a schmoolgerfoofer is, but trust us, it was a once in a lifetime experience that was enhanced by the authenticity of the venue.
