"People have been slinging ales at the White Horse Tavern since 1880, making it the city’s second oldest bar. When it opened, it attracted dockworkers who toiled on the Hudson River. In the 1950s, it became a prime spot for writers, poets, and musicians such as Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison, and Norman Mailer. Welsh poet Dylan Thomas was said to love the place so much, he haunts the bar. Maybe he’s attracted to the original woodwork and tin ceiling. A historical landmark, the White Horse is a stop on many NYC ghost tours." - Laine Doss
