"Automatic Slims is, above all, a very normal bar. It isn’t divey, but it isn’t especially nice, and it never really gets too crowded. This place would be unexceptional if it were anywhere other than the West Village—but here, it’s great. It’s only few blocks below the Meatpacking District, and it’s like a little calm oasis on weekends when all the other nearby bars are full of people trying not to slur their pickup lines." - bryan kim, katherine lewin, neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus
