"Spring Lounge has been around since the 1920s, and you can tell. It has a tin ceiling and old wooden floors that look like they’ve been walked on by several million people, and sometimes the whole place smells a little like a sock. But it’s a classic spot, and it's your best option for unpretentious drinks in Nolita that won't cost $20. Like every other place in the neighborhood, Spring Lounge is a bit of a scene nowadays. If you want to avoid a crowd, stop by when they open at 8am." - Bryan Kim, Carlo Mantuano, Kenny Yang, Hillary Reinsberg
