A Visit to The Ginger Man

I had the pleasure to visit The Ginger Man Pub at 11 East 36th Street, New York, NY 10016. The Ginger Man is an excellant place to drink a beer. Especially if your taste runs to microbrews and such. The Ginger Man has an overwhelming number of taps (66 draughts and 2 cask condition beers). Since I'm partial to the Stouts and Porters, The Ginger Man actually had several to choose from. I chose Young's Chocolate Stout it is even better on draft than in the bottle. However, I was disappointed with the food selection and I would suggest that you eat before or after going here, though the Soft Pretzel with Honey Mustard is excellant. The following quote is on the menu, and describes life perfectly:

When you don't have any money, the problem is food. When you have money, it's sex. When you have both, it's health. If everything is simply jake, then you're frightened of death. - The Ginger Man by J.P. Donleavy
