"Time tends to lose all meaning inside The Shannon Pot, a friendly Irish dive and long-time neighborhood staple in Long Island City. You come for just one round, which turns into two, which somehow turns into four, which—how many is it, now? This quantum-mechanical phenomenon may be due to a wormhole at the corner of 44th Drive and 11th Street (our research continues), but it’s probably just because of the two great beer-bucket specials: 10 Miller High Life cans for $25 or seven Coronitas for $20. You can theoretically order bar food at The Pot, and it's good enough to pass as dinner. (Think not just mozz sticks, chili, and burgers, but also shepherd’s pie and bangers and mash.) But we find that we usually gorge ourselves to satisfaction on the free, frequently refilled bowl of salty, buttery popcorn that appears as soon as you order. photo credit: Molly Fitzpatrick" - Molly Fitzpatrick
